Today's ID@Xbox showcase brought an exciting surprise with the appearance of the beloved trickster, Jimbo, who made a big announcement: *Balatro* is now available on Xbox Game Pass, and it's not coming alone. A new "Friends of Jimbo" update is set to enhance the game with several fresh face card customizations inspired by popular titles like *Bugsnax*, *Civilization*, *Assassin's Creed*, *Slay the Princess*, *Friday the 13th*, and *Fallout*.

The showcase trailer revealed these exciting additions, building on the tradition of previous "Friends of Jimbo" updates which have featured themes from *The Witcher*, *Cyberpunk 2077*, *Among Us*, *Divinity: Original Sin 2*, *Vampire Survivors*, *Stardew Valley*, and more. This marks the fourth installment in the series of updates, and like its predecessors, it remains focused on cosmetic enhancements, ensuring that the core gameplay remains unchanged.

Gamers can dive into *Balatro* on Xbox Game Pass immediately, with no waiting period. Although *Balatro* was already available for purchase on Xbox, its inclusion in Game Pass makes it more accessible than ever, promising endless hours of engaging card-slinging fun. Jimbo's influence is sure to keep players entertained and coming back for more.
