Balatro Sales Soar, Reaching Major Milestone

Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. Initially surprising players and critics alike with its quality, the game has now sold over 5 million copies – a milestone recently announced by publisher Playstack.

Just a month ago, sales figures stood at 3.5 million. This astonishing increase of 1.5 million copies in roughly 40 days is likely attributed to the impact of The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer, LocalThunk.

Playstack CEO Harvey Elliott lauded this achievement as incredible, expressing pride in both LocalThunk and Playstack's team. The game's ongoing success is evident in its sustained popularity, continued updates featuring exciting collaborations, and a recent peak concurrent player record on Steam. Even nearly a year after its release, Balatro remains a thriving success.
