Today's ID@Xbox showcase brought an exciting surprise for fans of the mischievous Jimbo, as it was announced that the popular card game, Balatro, is now available on Xbox Game Pass. Starting today, players can dive into the addictive world of Balatro without needing to purchase it separately, making it easier than ever to indulge in its card-slinging fun.

Alongside this announcement, a new "Friends of Jimbo" update was revealed, introducing a fresh batch of face card customizations to the game. The trailer showcased new designs inspired by beloved titles such as Bugsnax, Civilization, Assassin's Creed, Slay the Princess, Friday the 13th, and Fallout. These cosmetic additions join previous "Friends of Jimbo" updates, which have featured iconic characters from games like The Witcher, Cyberpunk 2077, Among Us, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Vampire Survivors, and Stardew Valley. This marks the fourth such update, and while it enhances the game's aesthetic appeal, it does not introduce new gameplay mechanics.

Balatro's immediate availability on Xbox Game Pass is a treat for gamers eager to experience its unique blend of strategy and chaos. Jimbo's influence continues to bring joy and new content to the community, and fans are encouraged to jump in and see what new tricks he has up his sleeve.
