Balatro Now on Xbox, PC Game Pass: 2024's Top Indie

In a surprising move, Microsoft has added Balatro, one of 2024's most acclaimed and top-selling indie games, to its Game Pass service for Xbox and PC users. Having sold over 5 million copies and earned a slew of awards, Balatro has emerged as a standout title this year. This innovative card-based roguelike game masterfully blends poker mechanics, providing players with a dynamic experience. As players progress, they unlock new decks, jokers, and modifiers, which contribute to virtually limitless gameplay possibilities and unique mechanics that keep the engagement high.

Balatro has recently expanded its universe through exciting collaborations with popular franchises such as Fallout, Assassin's Creed, Critical Role, and Bugsnax. These partnerships have brought fresh content to the game, including new missions and exploration opportunities, further enriching the gameplay experience. For Game Pass subscribers, this means not only access to the base game but also to its diverse and engaging expansions.
