Balatro: Unleashing the Power of the Debug Menu for Enhanced Gameplay
Balatro, the 2024 Game Awards sensation, captivated players worldwide with its innovative gameplay and endless replayability. Selling over 3.5 million copies and scooping three prestigious awards, its popularity endures. However, even seasoned players might seek new ways to revitalize their experience. While mods offer one solution, accessing Balatro's built-in developer debug menu provides a cheat-enabled alternative that preserves achievements.
Enabling cheats requires the free, open-source 7-Zip software. Locate your Balatro installation directory (typically C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro; otherwise, find it via your Steam library: right-click Balatro, select "Manage," then "Browse Local Files").
Right-click Balatro.exe and open the archive using 7-Zip (this might be under "Show More Options," depending on your OS and 7-Zip settings). Inside, find and open
conf.lua
with a text editor (like Notepad).
Modify
_RELEASE_MODE = true
to _RELEASE_MODE = false
, save the file. If saving fails, extract conf.lua
to your desktop, make the change, and replace the original. The debug menu activates by holding the Tab key in-game. To disable cheats, revert _RELEASE_MODE
to true
.
Balatro's cheat menu is user-friendly. Unlock collectibles by hovering and pressing '1'; spawn jokers by hovering and pressing '3'. Initially limited to five jokers, pressing 'Q' four times on a joker in your hand transforms it into a negative, effectively expanding your joker limit.
