TouchArcade Rating:

Balatro, the acclaimed roguelike from LocalThunk and Playstack, is making its mobile debut later this month! Launching on iOS, Android, and Apple Arcade, this premium title offers a unique Poker-inspired experience. Having already achieved over 2 million sales across various platforms in under six months, Balatro is poised for mobile success. A significant free update in 2025 is planned, introducing fresh gameplay mechanics and strategies.

Balatro will be available for $9.99 on iOS and Android. Watch the mobile announcement trailer below:

For those unfamiliar with Balatro, my 5/5 Switch review provides a comprehensive overview. It's also featured in my "best games of 2024 so far" article. An interview with LocalThunk regarding the game and its mobile release can be found here.

Pre-order Balatro now on the App Store (iOS) and pre-register on Google Play (Android). The Apple Arcade version is also available for pre-order. Will you be adding this top-rated game to your mobile collection on September 26th?
