Uncover the Secrets: Balatro Debug Menu Unlocked

Balatro, the 2024 breakout hit selling over 3.5 million copies and lauded with three Game Awards, maintains immense popularity. However, seasoned players might seek ways to revitalize their gameplay. While mods offer one solution, accessing Balatro's built-in developer debug menu provides an alternative, preserving achievements. This guide details how to enable and utilize this cheat menu.
Quick Links
Enabling Cheats in Balatro
To activate Balatro's debug menu and cheats, you'll need 7-Zip (free, open-source software). Locate your Balatro installation directory (typically
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Balatro
). If unsure, find Balatro in your Steam library, right-click, select "Manage," then "Browse Local Files."
Right-click
Balatro.exe
and choose to open the archive with 7-Zip (may be under "Show More Options"). Locate conf.lua
and open it with a text editor (e.g., 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 file. The debug menu (accessed by holding Tab in-game) should now be active. Re-enable the release mode by changing the parameter back to true
to disable cheats.
Using the Debug Menu in Balatro
The Balatro cheat menu is user-friendly. Unlock items 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 hand negates it, effectively allowing for unlimited jokers.
