LocalThunk’s deck-builder Balatro noticed nice success at The Sport Awards 2024, bagging three awards. The thrill has seemingly translated into further gross sales, with the developer asserting a brand new milestone of over 5 million items offered.
That is up from the three.5 million items offered in December, so the momentum – if not the publicity – from the awards present undoubtedly contributed. Balatro is obtainable for PS4, PS5, iOS, Android, Xbox One, Xbox Sequence X/S, and Nintendo Swap. It launched on February twentieth, 2024, and instantly garnered consideration, incomes essential acclaim and promoting 500,000 copies in ten days.
There have since been collaborations with quite a few different titles, together with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Amongst Us, Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors, 1000xResist, Cyberpunk 2077, Slay the Spire, Warframe, and plenty of extra. Whether or not it would obtain any extra sooner or later, a lot much less further DLC increasing on the core sport stays to be seen. Keep tuned for updates till then.
The previous few weeks have been fairly wild.
To everybody who picked up Balatro after seeing it at @thegameawards, we hope you’re having an incredible time with it!
If that is your first time choosing up an indie title, attempt to make it a behavior!
There’s some wonderful stuff on the market! pic.twitter.com/ZnRpWnJlTW
