“The first major gameplay update is coming to Balatro in 2025,” it said in a thread on X.
“This update will bring new ideas and strategies to the game and as a token of huge appreciation to the game’s brilliant and passionate community, the update will be completely free.
“We’re announcing this today as we officially celebrate two million copies sold,” LocalThunk added.
“We have two more surprises this summer, keep an eye out for some more exciting news!”
