Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. Last year's surprise hit has now sold over 5 million copies, a milestone achieved in just under a year since its release.
Remarkably, Balatro's sales surged by a staggering 1.5 million copies in just over 40 days, following the recent The Game Awards. This rapid growth, hinted at by developer LocalThunk, underscores the game's enduring appeal and the impact of major gaming events.
Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement as truly exceptional, praising both the developer and Playstack's team. The game's continued success is evident in its ongoing updates, exciting collaborations, and a recent peak in concurrent Steam players. Balatro's card-based roguelike gameplay clearly continues to resonate with players worldwide.
