Hit deck-builder Balatro is now available for mobile
Playstack’s hit card roguelike, Balatro, is now available to purchase on mobile devices.
The game, which was released for consoles and PC earlier this year and currently has a Metacritic score of 90, is available through Apple Arcade, the App Store and Google Play.
A ‘+’ version of the game is available via the Apple Arcade service, which lets subscribers gain access to Balatro without having to pay for it on the App Store.
