Balatro: All Jokers (& How to Unlock Them)

Jokers play an extremely important role in Balatro, and there 150 of them in total. While players will have access to a majority of those Jokers straightaway, there are many that are unlocked upon fulfilling certain requirements. This guide is here to provide details on those requirements, and it will help players unlock every Joker card in Balatro.

As has already been suggested, the first 105 Jokers are available upon starting Balatro, and their unlock requirements have been noted as "N/A" in the table that is below. Those Jokers will not appear in the Collection menu until they have been purchased in an unseeded run, though, and fans of deckbuilding video games may want to use this guide to reference their effects before that occurs.

Balatro: All Jokers

Prior to providing a complete list of all the Jokers in Balatro, it is worth noting that players can view the unlock requirements for nearly all of them by visiting the Jokers section of the Collection menu. For the uninitiated, that menu is accessed from the main menu, and it is a great way for roguelite fans to quickly view a lot of important information.

There are five Jokers with unlock requirements that are not clarified by the Collection menu, though, and those are Balatro's legendary Jokers. Fans of indie video games who are primarily interested in learning how to unlock those Jokers are advised to scroll to the last five entries in the following table.
