Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. The game, which surpassed 3.5 million copies sold just a month ago, has now exploded past the 5 million mark! This incredible growth, achieved in approximately 40 days, is likely attributed to the significant boost from The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer, LocalThunk.
Playstack CEO, Harvey Elliott, lauded this achievement, highlighting the remarkable accomplishment and expressing pride in both LocalThunk and the Playstack team. Even nearing its one-year anniversary, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike consistently receives updates, including exciting collaborations, and recently set a new record for concurrent players on Steam. The game's continued success underscores its enduring appeal and the power of word-of-mouth and industry recognition.
