Balatro has just launched a new Nintendo Switch 2 version

Out of nowhere, Balatro has just received a brand new version for Nintendo Switch 2.

Note that this is not a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – it’s completely separate. We haven’t been able to confirm this ourselves yet, but we’re hearing that saves don’t transfer. However, if you own the Nintendo Switch version, it’s a free upgrade. Mouse controls are supported and the gameplay is 60 frames per second.

Below is an overview of the title:

The poker roguelike. Balatro is a hypnotically satisfying deckbuilder where you play illegal poker hands, discover game-changing jokers, and trigger adrenaline-pumping, outrageous combos.

Combine valid poker hands with unique Joker cards in order to create varied synergies and builds. Earn enough chips to beat devious blinds, all while uncovering hidden bonus hands and decks as you progress. You’re going to need every edge you can get in order to reach the boss blind, beat the final ante and secure victory.

Balatro will normally cost $14.99, but it’s currently available for $11.99. Access more Nintendo Switch 2 news here.
