Here’s How To Pronounce Balatro, Because You’ve Been Saying It Wrong (Sort Of)

According to information from Game File, Naman Budhwar of publisher PlayStack’s video marketing department mentioned that while locals might say it as “BAH-luh-trow”, the pronunciation is flexible, similar to ‘gif’ and ‘jif’, where people can call it whatever they prefer. This means you can say “Buh-LAH-trow” or “BAY-lah-trow” when referring to it.

Balatro has just received its fourth ‘Friends of Jimbo’ bundle, featuring partnerships with Dead By Daylight and Assassin’s Creed. Previous ‘Friends of Jimbo’ bundles have showcased collaborations with games like Cyberpunk 2077, Warframe, and Stardew Valley.

Previously classified as PEGI 18, the European rating for Balatro was adjusted to PEGI 12 last month, following an appeal from its regional publisher, Sold Out Sales & Marketing. The PEGI decision was based on the game’s more fantastical and mystical elements outweighing its depiction of poker hands, thus reducing the impact of gambling-related gameplay.

Balatro is among the standout games from TopMob in 2024, garnering a multitude of awards and nominations at prestigious events such as the 2025 DICE Awards, New York Game Awards 2025, and The Game Awards 2024. It has also just taken home the esteemed title of Game of the Year at the Game Developers Choice Awards.
