Today's ID@Xbox showcase brought an exciting surprise for fans with the appearance of the beloved trickster, Jimbo, announcing that Balatro is now available on Xbox Game Pass. This instant addition to the Game Pass library means players can dive into Balatro's captivating card-slinging gameplay without delay. While the game was already accessible for purchase on Xbox, its inclusion in Game Pass makes it even more accessible for players to get hooked on its addictive mechanics.
Alongside this announcement, a new "Friends of Jimbo" update was revealed, introducing a fresh set of face card customizations inspired by popular titles such as Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout. These cosmetic additions enhance the visual appeal of Balatro, allowing players to personalize their gaming experience with themes from their favorite games.
Previous "Friends of Jimbo" updates have enriched Balatro with cosmetic enhancements drawn from games like The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, and Stardew Valley. This marks the fourth installment of these updates, and as with the past releases, players should not anticipate any major gameplay alterations but can look forward to the purely aesthetic upgrades.
Jimbo's latest announcement not only celebrates the game's expansion to Xbox Game Pass but also underscores the ongoing commitment to keeping Balatro fresh and engaging through these fun, thematic updates. Whether you're a new player or a seasoned Balatro enthusiast, there's never been a better time to join in on the card-slinging fun.
