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 showcase trailer revealed several new additions to the game's cosmetic options, including face cards inspired by popular franchises such as 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 enhancements; no significant gameplay changes are included.
But the big news is Balatro's immediate arrival on Xbox Game Pass. Previously available for purchase on Xbox, this makes it even more accessible for players to dive into its addictive card-based gameplay. Jimbo would undoubtedly approve.
