Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. Having already surpassed expectations with over 3.5 million copies sold just a month ago, the game has now achieved a staggering milestone: over 5 million copies sold! This remarkable growth, likely fueled by the impact of The Game Awards, represents an additional 1.5 million sales in approximately 40 days.
Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement as truly incredible, expressing pride in both the developer, LocalThunk, and his team. The game's sustained popularity is evident in its ongoing success, with continued updates, exciting collaborations, and a recent peak concurrent player record on Steam. Even nearly a year after its launch, Balatro remains a thriving and critically acclaimed title.
