Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. The game, which surpassed 3.5 million copies sold just a month ago, has now achieved a staggering 5 million sales! This remarkable growth, likely fueled by the exposure from The Game Awards, represents an additional 1.5 million copies sold in approximately 40 days.
Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, praised this achievement as incredible, highlighting the dedication of both the developer, LocalThunk, and the publishing team. Even nearly a year after its release, Balatro remains incredibly popular, consistently receiving updates, featuring exciting collaborations, and recently setting a new record for peak concurrent players on Steam. The card-based roguelike's enduring appeal is a testament to its innovative gameplay and widespread critical acclaim.
