Balatro is getting a “major gameplay update” this year with “new ideas and strategies” as the roguelike poker sensation sells 2 million copies

Balatro’s solo developer has celebrated two million sales of their roguelike game by announcing three surprises, the first of which is a free “major gameplay update” coming this year.

Just revealed today, Balatro’s debut update is being billed by solo developer LocalThunk as a “major gameplay update,” which will “bring new ideas and strategies to the game.” This is a token of thanks from LocalThunk to Balatro’s players, as the excellent roguelike card-based game has smashed through two million sales since launch earlier this year.
