During today’s ID@Xbox showcase, fans got a surprise visit from the mischievous Jimbo, who came bearing big news: Balatro is officially available on Xbox Game Pass as of today! And that’s not all—some new faces are joining the fun.
A new showcase trailer also revealed that Balatro is getting another Friends of Jimbo update, introducing even more face card customizations. The latest additions appear to feature designs inspired by Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin’s Creed, Slay the Princess, Dead by Daylight, and Fallout.
Previous Friends of Jimbo updates have brought cosmetic nods to The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, Stardew Valley, and more. This marks the fourth wave of these updates, and like the others, it’s purely visual—so don’t expect major gameplay tweaks.
What you can expect is to dive into Balatro on Xbox Game Pass immediately, no waiting required. The game was already available for purchase on Xbox, but now it’s even easier to get hooked on its addictive deck-building chaos. Jimbo would approve.
