Unlockables

By default, in a new profile, all of these Jokers would be shown as locked. However, in this profile, there are three statuses for the displays of the Jokers:
- Some Jokers are locked. This is because the unlock condition is not yet met in this profile.
- Some Jokers are marked as "not discovered". This is because the unlock condition is met, but the Joker was never purchased in this profile.
- Some Jokers are fully displayed. This is because they are *both* unlocked *and* discovered.

In Balatro, unlockables are items that are rendered as locked in a new profile but have a certain condition that allows for them to be unlocked by a player. Some of these conditions can include winning runs in certain fashions, playing specific hands, discovering a certain number of items, winning specific decks, or other related challenges. The specific condition for unlocking an item can be shown by hovering/tapping on a locked Joker or Voucher, but for locked Decks specifically, the unlocking condition is immediately listed in most cases.

Unlocking a Joker or a Voucher does not mean discovering it, but rather, it allows for them to be discoverable in an unseeded game. Once a player purchases an unlocked but previously undiscovered Joker or Voucher for the first time in an unseeded game, that item will become visible in their Collection. However, for Decks, there is no discovery status or mechanic of any kind, which means that once they have unlocked the deck, it will become immediately visible in the Collection (regardless of whether the player ever tried the deck at all), as well as the deck selection menu.

List of unlockables

Excluding unlockable content outside of the Collection, there are 75 items to be unlocked: 45 Jokers, 14 Decks, and 16 Vouchers.

Other

Although outside of the Collection, there are other things in Balatro that can be considered as unlockables, particularly Challenge Mode and all Stakes, except for White Stake, which is the first stake that all players start with.

Challenge Mode can be unlocked by winning in five different decks.

Each Stake is unlocked by winning a specific deck through the preceding stake. For example, if the player wins Blue Deck with the White Stake, they will get to unlock Red Stake for this specific deck. Furthermore, completing Red Stake for this deck will make them unlock Green Stake, and so on and so forth.

Trivia

In the main menu, if the player has a locked Joker or Voucher, a random locked Joker or Voucher may show up in the place of the Ace of Spades card that can be found on Balatro's logo.
All of the locked Vouchers are the ones that are the upgraded versions of the base Vouchers.
Excluding the Joker, which is available at the start of the game, all of the Legendary Jokers are the only Jokers who cannot have a "Not Discovered" status, as unlocking any of them requires discovery in the first place (obtaining them from The Soul). Legendary Jokers are also the only items in the game that can appear before being unlocked.
