The poker-inspired deck-building game, “Balatro+,” will launch on Apple Arcade on September 26, 2024. Already successful on platforms like Nintendo Switch and PlayStation, “Balatro+” is now expanding to Apple’s gaming service, giving subscribers access to this exciting title across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
Unique Gameplay and Features
“Balatro+” combines poker mechanics with strategic deck-building. Players must create winning hands while using joker cards that offer special abilities. The goal is to accumulate chips and beat increasingly tough opponents as you progress. With every level, the difficulty ramps up, keeping players engaged.
The game also includes hidden bonus hands and decks, adding depth and replayability. Its distinctive synthwave soundtrack complements the immersive gameplay, drawing players deeper into the experience.
Apple Arcade Expands Its Game Library
The addition of “Balatro+” comes at a time when Apple is expanding its Arcade offerings. With titles like “NFL Retro Bowl ’25” and “NBA 2K25 Arcade Edition” already available, “Balatro+” adds another layer of diversity to Apple’s game library.
Critically acclaimed with a 90 Metacritic rating and 97% positive reviews on Steam, “Balatro+” is set to appeal to both casual and serious gamers. By bringing such a hit game to Apple Arcade, Apple continues to strengthen its presence in the gaming world, providing quality content across multiple platforms.
