Balatro 1.1 Postponed Beyond 2025 as Solo Dev Adopts 'When It's Done' Timeline

The creator delayed the free update to protect his health after burnout from post‑launch crunch.

Overview

  • LocalThunk confirmed the 1.1 update will not ship in 2025 and now has no release date.
  • He said the new schedule is simply "it's done when it's done" to avoid returning to crunch.
  • Development has resumed at a hobbyist pace of only a few hours per day to maintain wellbeing.
  • The update remains free for all platforms when ready, and the developer expects follow-up adjustments after release.
  • Previously discussed content includes new jokers and a revamp of the Matador card, with the developer apologizing for setting a 2025 target and assuring the update will arrive.
