Prepare for Balatro, the acclaimed Poker-inspired roguelike from LocalThunk and Playstack, arriving on mobile devices later this month! Launching on iOS, Android, and Apple Arcade on September 26th, this premium title will be available for $9.99 on iOS and Android, and as a "+" title on Apple Arcade.

Having already surpassed 2 million units sold across various platforms (PS5, Switch, Steam, PS4, and Xbox) in under six months, Balatro is poised to make a significant impact on the mobile gaming scene. Further bolstering its appeal, a substantial free update is planned for 2025, introducing fresh gameplay mechanics and strategies.
