Balatro will be available on iOS and Android mobile devices in September

Balatro continues to be one of the coolest games to come out in 2024, and soon we’ll be able to take it with us wherever we go. The mobile version of Balatro has finally been announced, promising to bring the fun of poker, stacking chips, and collecting jokers to iOS and Android devices. What’s more, we won’t have to wait long for it. Balatro will be coming to mobile devices in late September.

Balatro Mobile was announced by Playstack and LocalThunk this week with a new trailer. From September 26, 2024, Balatro will be available on Android devices via Google Play and on iOS devices via the Apple App Store and Apple Arcade.

We really enjoyed Balatro, as did many other critics when we reviewed it earlier this year. It has an addictive gameplay loop where bad luck can take you from the safest of positions to losing and starting a new streak in the blink of an eye, but it’s also pleasantly satisfying to collect jokers, power up your cards, and become an unstoppable token-accumulating machine.

One of the few things we, like many other fans, wanted was a mobile version, and rumors had it in development. Today’s news finally indicates that Balatro is headed to one of the most ideal platforms. While we wait for the release in late September, stay tuned for more updates and coverage of Balatro here at Shacknews.
