Fresh off three wins at last month’s The Game Awards, LocalThunk’s deck-builder has achieved a staggering new sales milestone.

LocalThunk’s deck-builder Balatro saw great success at The Game Awards 2024, bagging three awards. The buzz has seemingly translated into additional sales, with the developer announcing a new milestone of over five million units sold.

This is up from the 3.5 million units sold in December, so the momentum – if not the exposure – from the awards show definitely contributed. Balatro is available for PS4, PS5, iOS, Android, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. It launched on February 20th, 2024, and immediately garnered attention, earning critical acclaim and selling 500,000 copies in ten days.

There have since been collaborations with numerous other titles, including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Among Us, Dave the Diver, Vampire Survivors, 1000xResist, Cyberpunk 2077, Slay the Spire, Warframe, and many more. Whether it will receive any more in the future, much less additional DLC expanding on the core game remains to be seen.
