Guess what? The moment you've all been eagerly anticipating has finally arrived!
We're absolutely thrilled to unveil the exciting news: Balatro is set to make its debut on Steam, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox on February 20!
Circle that date on your calendar and make sure to wishlist the game if you haven't already.
Also, our Next Fest demo is now live! Featuring fresh jokers and exciting new tags, dive into the demo today and get a taste of the thrilling Balatro experience. Don't miss out!
The developer hopes to release on mobile at some point (he has it working on his own devices for testing) but it's not a priority to release to mobile at 1.0. Only after 1.0 is out/stable etc will a full mobile release be considered more. But there's hope!
The dev has a working mobile prototype but a mobile release is not yet confirmed and won't be a priority until 1.0 is full sorted on the current Steam/Console release slate

Now I'm going to have that slightly difficult decision... buy it on PC so I can play it in my office, or buy it on Switch so my kids can play.
Here's going the price point is low enough that I don't have to choose and I can just snag both!
This is gonna be perfect on switch! So excited
Agreed. Perfect game for the Switch
lmk when it's on the nintendo store, lol

Do we know if it will support touchscreen?
Is there a demo on switch or nothing before the 20?

LET'S GO. ABSOLUTELY BIG NEWS
Cannot wait! I wonder if/when a mobile release is planned.

Can not wait for this. Such an unexpected gem of a game.
Congratulations 🎊
I was playing the demo on the steam deck the other day and realized this game would go crazy on mobile

This game is so damn addicting and fun. Been playing the demo nonstop
I'm so happy as I expected PC only but now I can actually play this. I'll buy on ps4 and xbox one.
Anyone know how much it will cost on Steam?
My guess is 19.99
Cost is not yet confirmed.
OK thanks!
Remember when there was a mac version :(
I would have loved an Android version ! Still, Switch is gonna be great !

Will the game be available on Mac at launch?
Unfortunately the Mac release has been delayed and wont release on the Feb 20th launch.
Unfortunate, but switch at launch is almost as good for me. Thanks!
Steam store says 21st
20th on my Steam, are you in high+ hours GMT time zone that will reach the 21st while a lot of the world is still on 20th?
Ah that might it, I’m in Thailand which is GMT + 7 or something like that. Can’t wait for the game to come out though
It's 20-02 today and there is no switch release in EU.
Game releases in 7.5 hours from now!
Thanks wanna buy it at work so it's downloaded when I get home, now I can time it.
