Cyberpunk 2077 is collaborating with the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Balatro as part of the latter's free Friends of Jimbo 2 update, which introduces a range of new cosmetic crossovers for the poker-based deck-builder. This mashup brings together two of the standout titles from the past five years, with Cyberpunk 2077 continuing to regain popularity following its rocky launch in 2020 and Balatro establishing itself as a commercial success and critical favorite.
The Cyberpunk franchise has demonstrated impressive longevity, especially with the release of the Phantom Liberty DLC in 2023. Developer CD Projekt Red has been actively producing spin-offs and crossovers, including the hit Netflix animated series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and various graphic novel expansions set in its dystopian universe. Meanwhile, Balatro, developed by a solo creator, has quickly surpassed 2 million sales just six months post-launch and garnered widespread acclaim, with Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker calling it "possibly the most addictive thing ever created."
The Balatro x Cyberpunk 2077 update, released on October 25, features collaborations with other popular titles like The Binding of Isaac, Slay the Spire, and Stardew Valley, and is available across PC, console, and mobile platforms. This latest update enhances character customization options, allowing players to reskin their face cards. The Cyberpunk 2077 characters have taken over the Spades suit, featuring Goro Takemura as the Jack, Rogue Amendiares as the Queen, and Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand as the King of Spades. With rumors of a second Cyberpunk 2077 expansion being canceled, this may be the last chance for gamers to see Silverhand in action for a while.
The initial Friends of Jimbo pack included skins from titles like The Witcher 3, Vampire Survivors, Dave the Diver, and Among Us. Given Balatro's rapid rise in popularity, it’s likely that more crossovers are on the horizon, as hinted by the game’s social media post asking, "Is this the full squad, or is there more?"
As development continues on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, Project Orion, and Balatro climbs the roguelite ranks, players can anticipate a steady influx of media crossovers and collaborations from both franchises. With its rich world-building and ongoing brand expansion, Cyberpunk 2077 promises to keep players engaged in the vibrant action of Night City.
