Balatro was already a smash success when it laid down its cards for the very first time this February, but a lot has changed since then. The poker-themed roguelike went viral. It was a heavy game of the year contender. Everyone and their mums got hooked when it came to mobile. And all of that momentum has meant that it's now surpassed its previous player peak on Steam.
Balatro first reached a concurrent player peak of around 37,000 Joker-chasers when it came out earlier in the year, but just yesterday, the game broke its own record and had more than 38,000 people in-game at the same time, 10 entire months after its debut, according to SteamDB.
