Xbox Game Pass Adds More Options for Fans of Balatro
Somepeople are also reportingthatBalatromay be an Xbox Play Anywhere title, as the game is showing up as “owned” even though they only have the console version. This isn’t yet confirmed, however, and the deckbuilder is not labeled Play Anywhere. For those unfamiliar,Xbox Play Anywhere is an initiative launched by Microsoft in 2016with the goal of allowing owners of certain digital games to play them on console or PC, without having to buy them twice. Currently, approximately 440 Xbox titles have this label.
