Balatro exceeds five million sales across all devices

Balatro, LocalThunk's acclaimed blend of deck-building, solitaire, and roguelike elements, has achieved remarkable success, surpassing five million sales across all platforms. This impressive feat, achieved by a solo developer and published by Playstack, represents a significant milestone in premium mobile gaming.

While precise mobile sales figures remain undisclosed, a substantial increase of 1.5 million sales since December's 3.5 million mark highlights its continued popularity on mobile devices, where it has garnered numerous awards.

While not definitively a groundbreaking indie mobile success story, Balatro's high-profile achievement, particularly considering its development journey, is noteworthy. Its sustained popularity, bolstered by ongoing updates, raises the question of whether this success will inspire greater confidence in the indie mobile market among both players and developers.
