The ID@Xbox showcase delivered a surprise: Jimbo, the mischievous master of mayhem, announced Balatro's arrival on Xbox Game Pass—available now! This isn't just Balatro; it also brings a fresh wave of "Friends of Jimbo" content.
A new trailer revealed the latest "Friends of Jimbo" update, introducing a plethora of face card customizations. Featured additions appear to include characters and themes from Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout.
This marks the fourth "Friends of Jimbo" update, following previous additions based on The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, Stardew Valley, and more. As with previous updates, expect purely cosmetic enhancements; no significant gameplay alterations are anticipated.
But the big news is Balatro's immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass. Previously available for purchase, this addition makes indulging in Balatro's addictive card-based gameplay even more accessible. Jimbo would undoubtedly approve.
