by George Mar 16,2025

Xbox Game Pass users rejoice! Today's ID@Xbox showcase delivered a delightful surprise: Balatro, the beloved card-slinging game, is now available on Xbox Game Pass! This announcement came courtesy of the mischievous Jimbo himself, who also revealed a brand-new "Friends of Jimbo" update.

This latest update adds a plethora of face card customizations, featuring some seriously iconic friends: Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout are just a few of the additions shown in today's trailer.

PlayThis 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 more. Rest assured, these updates remain purely cosmetic, enhancing the game's visual flair without altering core gameplay.

But the real news is Balatro's immediate arrival on Xbox Game Pass. Previously available for purchase on Xbox, this addition makes the addictive card-slinging action even more accessible. Get ready to dive into the chaotic fun—Jimbo would approve.
