Balatro’s first big update is still on track for 2025, but it’ll be “done when it’s done, because it’s got to be good before it’s fast”

Back in August last year, we learned that Balatro would be getting its “first major gameplay update” in 2025. After seven months without meaningful news on that update, you might be growing worried about whether or not it’s still on track for this year, but it seems plans have not yet changed.

“Next update: 2025,” Wout van Halderen of Balatro publisher Playstack reconfirmed during a Q&A following his panel at the Game Developers Conference. “But it’s going to be one of those things where it’s done when it’s done, because it’s got to be good before it’s fast.”
