Balatro, the indie roguelike developed by a single person, continues its phenomenal success story. The game, which surprised both players and critics last year, has now sold over 5 million copies – a truly remarkable achievement for an indie title.
Just a month ago, the developer, LocalThunk, celebrated surpassing 3.5 million sales. This impressive jump of 1.5 million copies in approximately 40 days is likely attributed to a surge in popularity following The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer.
Harvey Elliott, CEO of publisher Playstack, lauded this milestone as an incredible feat, expressing pride in both LocalThunk and the Playstack team.
Even nearly a year after its release, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike continues to be updated with exciting collaborations and recently reached a new peak in concurrent players on Steam. Its sustained success highlights the game's enduring appeal and the power of word-of-mouth marketing, amplified by events like The Game Awards.
