Since Balatro launched, we’ve seen a number of free updates that allow us to change the appearance of the cards to resemble other indie games, and the new Friends of Jimbo 3 trailer reveals both more crossovers and Ben Starr as “Jimbo the Joker.” It is immediately available on all platforms.
How it works is you download the update. Once you next play, you can change the skins for the cards you use in the game. As a result, they’ll have designs and in some cases characters based on the indie games taking part in the crossover.
These are all the games represented in the Balatro Friends of Jimbo 3 update:
- 1000xResist
- Cult of the Lamb
- Divinity: Original Sin 2
- Don’t Starve
- Enter the Gungeon
- Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator
- Shovel Knight
- Warcraft
Here’s the Ben Starr Balatro trailer showing all of the new Friends of Jimbo 3 update additions.
In addition to playing Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy XVI, he’s also Prometheus in Hades 2, Khazan in The First Berserker: Khazan, and Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
In case you missed them, here are games that appeared in the past two Friends of Jimbo updates:
- Among Us
- The Binding of Isaac
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Dave the Diver
- Slay the Spire
- Stardew Valley
- Vampire Survivors
- The Witcher 3
As for the mascot Jimbo, it is possible to get merchandise of him. A Makeship plush promotion is running until December 14, 2024. For $29.99, you can get a stuffed animal of the character. It will not sound like Ben Starr.
Balatro is immediately available on the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, as well as Apple Arcade.
