Video game developer LocalThunk has confirmed that his latest title, Balatro, will release on September 26th, 2024, for Android and iOS devices. In accordance with this announcement, pre-registrations are now open.
Balatro will look to bank on its PC and console success with its release on mobile
From developer LocalThunk and publisher Playstack, the news first surfaced on iMore just a few days after its release on PC and consoles. So, the publisher confirmed the mobile port of the game. In a recent Reddit AMA with developer LocalThunk, he was asked if the game will come to Android and iOS.
For those who do not know what Balatro is, it is a deck-building roguelike that does not follow the mainstream game rules. Back in March 2024, during LocalThunk’s interview with iMore, the developer also talked about the future of the title. The current version is only running a demo for now and has a lot of space to renovate.

You will discover game-changing jokers, and trigger adrenaline-pumping, outrageous combos in this pixel art title. The game was released in February 2024 across PC, Nintendo Switch, and Consoles. Only after a few days of its release, the title was sold over a million copies and marks the groundbreaking record.
LocalThunk shared his vision of the game ahead and said he would further develop Balatro beyond the existing game. Though we don’t know what kind of development he said, we do know that he’s not going to make Balatro a fancy one filled with weird mechanics. Rather, we will get to watch new and interesting designs and features.
Ahead of its release, you can go ahead and pre-register for the game on the Google Play Store and App Store respectively on your mobile devices.
