The ID@Xbox showcase brought an exciting surprise for gamers today with the announcement that Balatro is now available on Xbox Game Pass. The beloved trickster, Jimbo, made a special appearance to share the news, and fans are thrilled. Along with this big reveal, Jimbo introduced a new "Friends of Jimbo" update for Balatro, which introduces an array of new face card customizations inspired by popular games such as Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout.
This marks the fourth installment in the "Friends of Jimbo" series, following previous updates that have added cosmetic elements from games like The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, and Stardew Valley. While these updates focus solely on aesthetics and do not alter gameplay, they bring a fresh layer of fun and personalization to Balatro, enhancing the player's experience.
Gamers can dive into Balatro on Xbox Game Pass immediately, without any delay. Previously available for purchase on Xbox, its addition to the Game Pass catalog makes it even more accessible for players to indulge in the addictive card-slinging action that Balatro offers. Jimbo's influence continues to grow, and this latest update is a testament to the enduring appeal of Balatro within the gaming community.
