Balatro’s global conquest persists, as the captivating poker game with a rogue-like twist in deck building, which garnered multiple Game of the Year nods, is now accessible on Game Pass.
During the latest ID@Xbox showcase, where we focus on indie games landing on Xbox or Game Pass, I was thrilled to hear that Balatro, a game I’ve been enjoying, will now be accessible through Game Pass! Although it was already available on Microsoft’s platform, this expansion means more gamers can dive into the unique world of this little indie gem.
Furthermore, it was unveiled that the Jimbo DLC 4 features popular series like Assassin’s Creed, Fallout, Bugsnax, Friday the 13th, and Civilization.
Previously, fans had the opportunity to customize their card decks with designs reminiscent of popular games like Among Us, Cyberpunk: 2077, The Binding of Isaac, and Stardew Valley, among others.
As a passionate gamer, I’ve got to say, the DLC packs here are all about the looks. You won’t find any Joker cards or game-altering elements from these popular franchises being added by developer LocalThunk. But hey, who wouldn’t love to see something like that? It’d be absolutely epic!
Balatro hasn’t only joined one subscription service; it also takes part in Apple Arcade, which offers iOS users an equivalent version of the game – Balatro+. This subscription model operates similarly to Game Pass, enabling users to enjoy the roguelike game anywhere they go, for a recurring monthly fee.
2024 saw an exceptional game that I simply can’t ignore – it was one of the year’s best! If you haven’t given it a try yet, there’s no more room for excuses. Believe it or not, this game masterfully combines elements from card games and roguelikes, making it a unique experience that caters to both genres, even if you’re not typically drawn to either one.
As an enthusiast, I’ll embark on an exciting poker journey with a standard deck at my disposal. To amplify the fun, I can introduce booster packs and Jokers to elevate my gameplay. These Jokers serve unique purposes, such as increasing the worth of two-pair hands or allowing me to effortlessly create Flushes by combining Spades and Clubs as part of the same suit. In essence, these additions offer a fresh twist to traditional poker strategies.
Currently, the security of Game Pass allows you to judge whether it’s a good use of your time. Be prepared to resist the allure of diving into the realm of Jimbo; it will be quite tempting. Good luck!
