In surprise news, the Giant Bomb team revealed that Balatro will be released as a physical “special edition” on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.
No further details are known for now, but we do know that pre-orders will open soon and that a Joker card and a pack of playing cards will be available. Here’s a photo of Jeff Grubb holding a physical copy of the Switch version.
If you haven’t played the game yet, we called it a “clear GOTY contender” and gave it an impressive rating of 10 out of 10.
“Balatro is a roguelike for gamers who hate roguelikes… and everyone else too. The game perfectly achieves what it sets out to do, delivering an instantly accessible, satisfying, and addictive gameplay loop that’s accessible to everyone. It’s a highly enjoyable experience from the get-go, but as you play deeper it becomes truly unique.”
