Balatro exceeds five million sales across all devices

Mar 16,2025 Author: Michael

LocalThunk's innovative blend of solitaire, roguelike, and deck-building mechanics, Balatro, has achieved remarkable success, surpassing five million sales across all platforms. This includes a significant contribution from mobile, where it has garnered numerous awards.

While impressive, it's crucial to acknowledge Balatro's unique context. Developed solo, these five million represent premium sales, directly benefiting developer LocalThunk and publisher Playstack. This contrasts with many larger titles boasting far greater download numbers but relying on free-to-play models.

Precise mobile sales figures remain elusive, but December's 3.5 million mark indicates a substantial 1.5 million increase since then. This growth highlights Balatro's sustained popularity on mobile platforms.

While not definitively a mobile indie breakthrough, Balatro's high-profile success, achieved despite its challenges, is noteworthy. Its continued success, bolstered by ongoing updates, remains to be seen. Will this achievement encourage greater confidence in bringing indie games to mobile? Only time will tell.

For a detailed look at why Balatro earned a five-star rating from us, check out our comprehensive review.
