Balatro, the acclaimed poker-inspired roguelike from LocalThunk and Playstack, is hitting mobile devices later this month! Launching on iOS, Android, and Apple Arcade on September 26th, this premium title will be available for $9.99 on iOS and Android, and as an Apple Arcade+ title.

Having already sold over 2 million copies across various platforms (PS5, Switch, Steam, PS4, and Xbox) in under six months, Balatro is poised for mobile success. Future plans include a significant free update in 2025 introducing fresh gameplay mechanics and strategic options.
