Balatro Developer Confirms 1.1 Update Still in Development on Game's Second Anniversary

The solo creator is taking a no-crunch, hobbyist approach with no release date set.

Overview

  • LocalThunk used a second‑anniversary blog post to state he is still working on Balatro’s 1.1 update.
  • The update was delayed from 2025 into 2026 to avoid a return to the intense crunch of the base game's development.
  • No timing or feature details were provided for 1.1 beyond the confirmation of ongoing work.
  • Post‑release support has included a balance patch and a mobile port, followed by a break before resuming 1.1.
  • The developer emphasized his player‑first stance, noting the game’s success and that it includes no microtransactions.
