Download Balatro: Try Before You Buy

The iOS version of Balatro is approximately 93 MB — a very small download for an award-winning game. Plan for at least 150 MB of free storage to accommodate the app and run data. Check available storage in your device Settings before starting the download.

Balatro is safe to download from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store. Both platforms screen apps before distribution and scan for malware. The game is published by Playstack. Avoid downloading from third-party APK sites, as unofficial versions bypass platform security checks.

With an iOS package of approximately 93 MB, expect under 1 minute on 5G or fast home Wi-Fi. On a 4G connection, the download typically completes in 1 to 2 minutes depending on signal quality. Downloading over Wi-Fi is recommended to avoid mobile data charges.

Common causes include insufficient free storage, a weak or unstable internet connection, or an Android or iOS version below the minimum requirement. Free up at least 150 MB of storage, connect to stable Wi-Fi, clear the store cache in your device Settings, and retry the download.

On Android, open the Google Play Store, search for Balatro, tap Install, and open the game from your home screen once finished. On iOS, open the App Store, find Balatro: Try Before You Buy, tap Get for the free trial or the price button for the full version, authenticate, and launch the app after installation.

Balatro is available on PC via Steam in addition to Android and iOS. The Steam version provides a full keyboard and mouse experience. The mobile and PC versions are separate purchases — buying the iOS version does not include the Steam version and vice versa.

Balatro is rated Everyone on the Google Play Store and 12+ on the Apple App Store — a slight difference. Apply the 12+ iOS rating as the conservative guide. The full iOS version costs $9.99 as a one-time purchase with no in-app purchases after that point.
