Balatro Hits Milestone with Over 5M Sales

By SadieFeb 19,2025

Balatro, the critically acclaimed blend of deck-building, solitaire, and roguelike elements from LocalThunk, has achieved remarkable success, surpassing five million sales across all platforms. This impressive figure includes significant mobile sales, a feat recognized with multiple awards.

While the total sales might seem modest compared to some major releases, it's crucial to remember that Balatro is a solo-developed title, and all five million sales represent premium revenue for developer LocalThunk and publisher Playstack. This achievement is particularly noteworthy considering its independent origins.

Precise mobile sales figures remain unavailable, but a substantial increase of 1.5 million sales has been recorded since December, when sales reached 3.5 million.
