Balatro Mobile – Official Release Date Trailer
Get ready for the highly anticipated mobile release of Balatro. The roguelike poker game is set to launch on iOS and Android on September 26, marking a day where productivity takes a back seat.
Publisher Playstack made the exciting announcement with a quirky trailer that humorously highlights the game’s addictive nature. Even developer LocalThunk jokingly apologized for the impending mobile release.
You can now pre-order Balatro on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store for $10. Additionally, it will be available on Apple Arcade as Balatro+. With this launch, players can enjoy the game on the go and immerse themselves in its captivating gameplay wherever they are.
Balatro garnered success quickly, selling 1 million copies in its first month on PC and console. The game challenges players to strategically play poker against Boss Blinds with the aid of special cards like Jokers. The goal is to accumulate chips and overcome difficult opponents.
Playstack has exciting plans for Balatro, including a major free update in 2025 that promises fresh content and strategies. Players also received the “Friends of Jimbo” update, introducing cosmetic cards inspired by popular titles like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Vampire Survivors.
News of the mobile version was initially shared in a Reddit Ask Me Anything thread, and now the release is imminent, courtesy of LocalThunk’s efforts to adapt the game for mobile platforms.
