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 exposure garnered from The Game Awards, showcases the game's enduring appeal.
The developer, LocalThunk, has seen a surge in sales of approximately 1.5 million copies in just 40 days. This rapid increase underscores the game's lasting impact and the power of awards recognition.
Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement, highlighting the exceptional work of both the developer and the publishing team.
Even nearing its one-year anniversary, Balatro shows no signs of slowing down. The card-based roguelike remains popular, consistently receiving updates and boasting exciting collaborations. Recently, it even set a new record for peak concurrent players on Steam.
