Today's ID@Xbox showcase brought an exciting surprise for gamers, especially fans of the mischievous Jimbo. The big news? Balatro is now available on Xbox Game Pass starting today. Alongside this thrilling announcement, Jimbo introduced a new "Friends of Jimbo" update, which adds a fresh set of face card customizations to the game. The showcased trailer revealed that these new customizations draw inspiration from popular titles like Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout.
For those unfamiliar, "Friends of Jimbo" updates have previously enriched Balatro with cosmetic enhancements from well-known games such as The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, and Stardew Valley. This marks the fourth installment of these updates, and true to form, they remain focused on aesthetics without introducing major gameplay changes.
The immediate availability of Balatro on Xbox Game Pass means players can dive right into the addictive world of card-slinging without delay. Previously available for purchase on Xbox, this addition to Game Pass makes it even more accessible for gamers to experience the thrill that Balatro offers. Jimbo would undoubtedly approve of this move to spread the joy of his game even further.
