Xbox’s ID@XBox showcase kicked off the day with an unexpected appearance from Jimbo, signaling that a new surprise is in store for gamers. As it turns out, beloved card game Balatro is now available on Xbox Game Pass, starting today.
The “Friends of Jimbo” update has brought several exciting customizations to Balatro, including face cards inspired by popular games like Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin’s Creed, Slay the Princess, Dead by Daylight, and Fallout. This marks the fourth Friends of Jimbo update, which have been purely cosmetic in nature.
However, the real excitement comes from the fact that Balatro is now easily accessible to Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Although it was previously available for purchase on Xbox, this new release makes it a breeze to get hooked on the game’s addictive card-slinging mechanics. It’s a win-win for fans of Jimbo and Balatro alike.
