Get ready for Balatro, the acclaimed Poker-inspired roguelike from LocalThunk and Playstack! Launching later this month on iOS, Android, and Apple Arcade, this premium title offers a unique blend of strategy and chance. Having already conquered consoles (selling over 2 million units across PS5, Switch, Steam, PS4, and Xbox in under six months!), Balatro is poised to captivate mobile gamers. A major free update planned for 2025 promises even more exciting content and gameplay strategies.

Balatro will be available for $9.99 on iOS and Android. Watch the mobile announcement trailer below, showcasing its thrilling gameplay ahead of its September 26th release:
