One of the surprise success stories of 2024 is Balatro, a poker-themed roguelike deck-building game that was created by a single developer who goes by the name LocalThunk. Gamers have embraced the title and made it a hit on Steam and consoles. Now, Balatro is getting a special physical release as well.
LocalThunk confirmed the release himself with a post on X, which included the news that the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X editions will come with a pack of Joker/booster cards.
