It is unclear if this figure includes sales of the game on mobile devices or if it's solely from PC and console sales. Additionally, Balatro is available for free to Apple Arcade subscribers, which should expand its audience even further.
The mobile version of Balatro was released on September 26, 2024, six months after the game's release on major platforms on February 20, 2024. According to estimates from the analytics service AppMagic, just this version has brought LocalThunk and Playstack over $4.2 million in net revenue to date.

- 250,000 copies — three days after release;
- 500,000 copies — ten days after release;
