Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. After surprising players and critics last year with its gameplay and critical acclaim, the game has now sold over 5 million copies!
Just a month ago, the developer, LocalThunk, celebrated surpassing 3.5 million sales. This astonishing growth, adding 1.5 million copies in approximately 40 days, is likely attributed to the impact of The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer.
Harvey Elliott, CEO of Playstack, the game's publisher, lauded this achievement as truly remarkable. He expressed pride in both LocalThunk and Playstack's team.
Even nearly a year after its release, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike continues to be updated with exciting collaborations and recently reached a new peak in concurrent Steam players.
