After selling 1 million copies in its first month, Balatro has reached its next commercial summit having surpassed two million unit sales across PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.

“Two million unit sales is a magical milestone, and both developer LocalThunk and all of us here at Playstack are fully committed to make sure Balatro’s players continue to be rewarded for their faith and fandom,” said Harvey Elliott, CEO at Playstack.

“I would never have thought that Balatro would be played by over 2 million people when I started working on it almost 3 years ago. I’m so grateful to all the players for giving it a chance and I’m excited to show everyone the next chapter for my game” said LocalThunk, the game’s award-winning creator and banana enthusiast.

The outstanding threshold comes as publisher Playstack and developer LocalThunk begin their “Three-of-a-Kind of Surprises” campaign. Throughout August and September, an image of three cards will appear face-down across Balatro’s Discord and Twitter channels, with each card hiding a major announcement.

Over the next two months, these cards will individually turn over at undisclosed times and share a major news update for the game’s incredible community.

And to kick off the campaign, the first card turns over right now!
