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 staggering achievement for an indie title.
Just a month ago, the developer, LocalThunk, celebrated reaching 3.5 million sales. This impressive surge of 1.5 million copies in approximately 40 days is likely attributed to the impact of The Game Awards, as hinted by the developer.
Harvey Elliott, CEO of Playstack, the game's publisher, lauded this milestone as an incredible feat, expressing pride in both LocalThunk and Playstack's team.
Even nearly a year after its release, Balatro remains incredibly popular. The card-based roguelike consistently receives updates, including exciting collaborations, and recently broke its own record for peak concurrent players on Steam. Its continued success highlights the game's enduring appeal and the power of word-of-mouth in the gaming community.
