Shortly after celebrating the success of Balatro at The Game Awards 2024, the game’s creator, LocalThunk, is calling out PEGI for switching the game’s rating to 18+ earlier in the year – the highest age rating that PEGI can give, and by far the highest rating Balatro has received from any ratings board. A rating of 18+ classifies Balatro as a game that’s available for adults only and restricts minors from legally purchasing the game in the UK, though there are obviously ways around those restrictions.
