Jimbo's Friends Update: Balatro Expands with 8 New Franchises

The chaotic deck-building roguelike, Balatro, is getting even wilder with the Friends of Jimbo 3 update! This free update adds eight new franchises to the already impressive roster, bringing the total to 16 and injecting even more unpredictable fun into the gameplay.

Prepare to see familiar faces (or rather, card art) from beloved franchises like Divinity: Original Sin 2, Don't Starve, Enter the Gungeon, Cult of the Lamb, 1000x Resist, Potion Craft, Shovel Knight, and Warframe. This massive collaboration, timed perfectly for The Game Awards (where Balatro received five nominations, including Game of the Year!), makes deck customization more exciting than ever.
