Balatro Surpasses Major Sales Milestone

May 19,25

Last year was a banner year for gaming, but one title that truly captured the hearts of both players and critics was the indie roguelike sensation, Balatro. Developed single-handedly by LocalThunk, this game not only garnered critical acclaim but also achieved staggering commercial success, selling over 5 million copies!

Just over a month ago, LocalThunk was celebrating a milestone of 3.5 million copies sold. Remarkably, within approximately 40 days, Balatro managed to sell an additional 1.5 million copies. This phenomenal surge in sales can likely be attributed to the "The Game Awards effect," a phenomenon that LocalThunk hinted at in a tweet.

Harvey Elliott, the CEO of publisher Playstack, described this milestone as an incredible achievement deserving of celebration. He expressed immense pride in both Balatro's developer and the dedicated team at Playstack.

Even nearly a year after its release, Balatro continues to thrive. The card-based roguelike game keeps players engaged with ongoing updates and exciting collaborations. Recently, it even achieved a new personal record for peak concurrent players on Steam, showcasing its enduring popularity and appeal.
