Balatro on Xbox Game Pass Now

The ID@Xbox showcase delivered a surprise for fans of Balatro, as Jimbo himself made an appearance to announce that the game is available on Xbox Game Pass starting today. But that’s not all—a new "Friends of Jimbo" update is also rolling out, bringing even more face card customizations to the game.

The latest "Friends of Jimbo" update introduces collaborations with Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin’s Creed, Slay the Princess, Dead by Daylight, and Fallout, as revealed in today’s showcase trailer.

Previous updates have already featured The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, and Stardew Valley, among others. This marks the fourth update in the series, though, as with past additions, these new face cards are purely cosmetic and won’t introduce major gameplay changes.

For those yet to dive in, Balatro is now available on Xbox Game Pass, making it easier than ever to get hooked on its strategic card-slinging action. If you're ready to test your deck-building skills, there’s no need to wait—jump in today. Jimbo would approve!
