Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. After surpassing 3.5 million copies sold just last month, the game has now reached a staggering 5 million sales! This remarkable achievement, fueled in part by the impact of The Game Awards, showcases the game's enduring popularity and critical acclaim.
The developer, LocalThunk, saw a surge of 1.5 million additional sales in approximately 40 days, a testament to the game's post-launch momentum. Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, celebrated this milestone as an incredible feat, highlighting the dedication of both the developer and the publishing team.
Even nearing its one-year anniversary, Balatro remains vibrant. Regular updates, including exciting collaborations, keep the card-based roguelike fresh, recently resulting in a new all-time high for concurrent players on Steam. The game's ongoing success story underscores its exceptional quality and the power of word-of-mouth marketing.
