Balatro is getting a physical edition.
The creator of the viral Poker game, localthunk, confirmed via a note posted to the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that fans will soon be able to pick up a physical copy of the game on PS5, Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and last-gen consoles.
As an extra sweetener, each “special edition” will come with a pack of 10 bonus Joker/booster cards.
Localthunk – who recently spoke out about the game’s rating drama, stating “it is what it is” – added, “That PEGI 18 rating is mocking me [though]”.

In an AMA session on Reddit earlier this year, localthunk was asked for comment on how PEGI mishandled the game’s rating after it was pulled from sale in some countries due to a “mistaken belief that the game ‘contains prominent gambling imagery and materials that instructs about gambling'”, as per publisher Playstack’s statement at the time.
