Balatro Drops Surprise Landing on Xbox Game Pass

Xbox Game Pass Welcomes Balatro and a Host of New Friends!

The ID@Xbox showcase delivered a surprise appearance by the mischievous Jimbo, bringing exciting news: Balatro is now available on Xbox Game Pass! And that's not all – Jimbo's bringing some new friends along for the ride.

A new trailer showcased the latest "Friends of Jimbo" update for Balatro, adding a wealth of face card customizations. The trailer teased additions featuring characters and imagery from popular titles including Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout.

Previous "Friends of Jimbo" updates have already brought cosmetic additions from franchises like The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, and Stardew Valley. This marks the fourth such update, and as before, expect purely cosmetic enhancements – no significant gameplay alterations.

But the big news is Balatro's immediate arrival on Xbox Game Pass! Previously available for purchase on Xbox, this makes it even more accessible to those eager to experience Balatro's unique card-based gameplay. Jimbo would certainly approve.
