In unexpected news, Microsoft has announced that Balatro, one of the most celebrated and best-selling indie games of 2024, is now available on Game Pass for both Xbox and PC subscribers. With over 5 million copies sold and numerous awards under its belt, Balatro has quickly become one of the standout projects of the year.

This innovative card-based roguelike incorporates elements of poker mechanics, offering players an ever-evolving experience with new decks, jokers, and modifiers unlocked as they progress. This design ensures virtually endless gameplay possibilities and unique mechanics that keep players engaged.

Recently, Balatro expanded its universe through collaborations with popular franchises like Fallout, Assassin's Creed, Critical Role, and Bugsnax. These partnerships have introduced fresh content, including additional missions and exploration opportunities, further enriching the gameplay experience. For Game Pass subscribers, this addition means access to not only the base game but also its diverse and engaging expansions.
