LocalThunk’s deck-builder Balatro noticed nice success at The Sport Awards 2024, bagging three awards. The excitement has seemingly translated into extra gross sales, with the developer saying a brand new milestone of over 5 million models bought.
That is up from the three.5 million models bought in December, so the momentum – if not the publicity – from the awards present positively contributed. Balatro is out there for PS4, PS5, iOS, Android, Xbox One, Xbox Collection X/S, and Nintendo Change. It launched on February twentieth, 2024, and instantly garnered consideration, incomes important acclaim and promoting 500,000 copies in ten days.
There have since been collaborations with quite a few different titles, together with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Amongst Us, Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors, 1000xResist, Cyberpunk 2077, Slay the Spire, Warframe, and lots of extra. Whether or not it can obtain any extra sooner or later, a lot much less extra DLC increasing on the core recreation stays to be seen. Keep tuned for updates till then.
The previous few weeks have been fairly wild.
To everybody who picked up Balatro after seeing it at @thegameawards, we hope you’re having an incredible time with it!
If that is your first time choosing up an indie title, attempt to make it a behavior!
There’s some wonderful stuff on the market! pic.twitter.com/ZnRpWnJlTW
