Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. Having already surprised players and critics with its critical acclaim last year, the game has now surpassed a staggering 5 million copies sold!
Just a month ago, developer LocalThunk celebrated reaching 3.5 million sales. This incredible surge of 1.5 million copies in approximately 40 days strongly suggests a significant boost from The Game Awards, a possibility hinted at by the developer.
Harvey Elliott, CEO of publisher Playstack, rightly hailed this achievement as extraordinary, expressing immense pride in both LocalThunk and the Playstack team.
Even nearly a year post-launch, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike consistently receives updates, including exciting collaborations, and recently achieved a new peak concurrent player record on Steam. Its continued success demonstrates its enduring appeal and lasting impact on the gaming world.
