The ID@Xbox showcase delivered a surprise: Jimbo, the mischievous master of card-slinging, announced Balatro's arrival on Xbox Game Pass—available today! And he's brought some friends.
A new trailer showcased Balatro's latest "Friends of Jimbo" update, boasting a fresh batch of face card customizations. The trailer highlighted additions featuring characters and imagery from Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout.
Previous "Friends of Jimbo" updates included cosmetic additions inspired by The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, Stardew Valley, and more. This marks the fourth such update; expect more cosmetic fun, not gameplay overhauls.
But the big news? Balatro is instantly playable on Xbox Game Pass! Previously available for purchase, this addition makes it even simpler to succumb to Balatro's addictive card-based gameplay. Jimbo would approve.
