The popular indie card-battling roguelike Balatro is set to launch on mobile on September 26th. The game will be available on the iOS App Store, Google Play, and Apple Arcade. Known for its addictive deck-building gameplay, Balatro challenges players to build a deck of “joker” cards and achieve high scores through strategic poker hands.
This game is really popular. Balatro has sold over two million copies since its release, cementing its status as one of 2024’s biggest indie successes. Despite initial controversy, including being removed from the Nintendo eShop over gambling concerns, the game has built a dedicated fan base. With its upcoming mobile release, Balatro is expected to captivate even more players, particularly fans of deck-building games.
The mobile version’s announcement was accompanied by a quirky trailer, highlighting the game’s surreal and engaging style. If you are interested, of course you are, pre-register on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store or on the Apple Arcade as Balatro+.
