We might be a little late to the party on this one, but with it being an absolute, unmissable steal, we couldn’t resist shouting about the fact that Balatro is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2.

What’s new in the Switch 2 version you might ask? Well, it reportedly adds a 60 FPS bump, HD rumble 2, and is now compatible with Mouse Mode.

In the UK, this enhanced version is priced at just £12.79 ($14.99), and it’s a FREE upgrade for owners of the original Switch game.

We included the original release of Balatro in our list of the Best Roguelikes and Roguelites on Switch and Switch 2. If you’ve been sleeping on this addictive roguelike deckbuilder and own a Switch 2, you really now have no excuse!

You can check out the trailer for Balatro below, which highlights the free DLC card packs added since launch, including decks inspired by The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Among Us, Dave the Diver, and Vampire Survivors.
