The ID@Xbox showcase delivered a surprise appearance by the mischievous Jimbo, bringing exciting news: Balatro is now available on Xbox Game Pass! This launch coincides with a new "Friends of Jimbo" update, adding a fresh batch of face card customizations.
The trailer showcased new additions to the card roster, including characters and imagery inspired by Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout.
This marks the fourth "Friends of Jimbo" update, following previous additions featuring The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, Stardew Valley, and others. As with previous updates, these are purely cosmetic additions; expect no significant gameplay alterations.
But the big news is Balatro's immediate arrival on Xbox Game Pass. Previously available for purchase, this makes it even more accessible for players to dive into its addictive card-based gameplay. Jimbo would undoubtedly approve.
