Balatro Hits 5 Million Sales Mark on All Devices

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 sector where Balatro has garnered numerous awards.

While the overall sales might seem modest compared to some major releases, the achievement is particularly noteworthy considering Balatro's origins as a solo-developed project and the fact that all sales represent premium revenue for developer LocalThunk and publisher Playstack.

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

A Significant Indie Success?

While not definitively a groundbreaking mobile indie title, Balatro's success is undeniably significant. Its high profile and journey to popularity make it a prime example of indie success on mobile. The long-term performance of Balatro, particularly with ongoing updates, remains to be seen.

This achievement raises the question: will Balatro's success inspire greater confidence in the mobile indie market for both developers and players? We remain optimistic.
