In a Reddit AMA, Balatro developer LocalThunk confirmed a Daily Challenge option will eventually appear in Balatro. It, as well as Balatro Android and iOS mobile versions and possible merchandise, came up during the question and answer period.
LocalThunk brought up a Balatro Daily Challenge feature after a Reddit user named Radstronomical brought it up. The developer noted, “I will definitely be adding a Daily Challenge mode, it would be so cool for a lot of reasons. I don’t have a timeline on it but know that it’s in the cards.”
As for other developments, Playstack Games confirmed that Android and iOS mobile versions of Balatro are being developed. There were no details on when this could appear. PlayStack only said to check social media and Discord for updates. Likewise, the publisher said updates on merchandise will appear on the same sources.
Balatro is a new deck-building roguelike that starts with a standard, 52-card deck of playing cards and involves acquiring Jokers with various traits. Said Jokers influence the course of rounds in which people play Poker hands, which have varying point Chip point values, to pass scoring requirements and gradually up the ante until you face bosses.
Balatro is available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. Mobile versions are in development.
