Devolver Digital wants to talk about balls. For starters, Ball X Pit just reached a new sales milestone, selling 1 million copies. But that’s not all: Developer Kenny Sun is working on brand-new balls for the action-roguelite game, with three free updates on the way next year.
The first new content planned for Ball X Pit is set to release in January with the Regal Update. The Shadow Update is scheduled to follow in April, with the Naturalist Update on the way in July. Devolver Digital says that each free major patch will include new balls, evolutions, and characters. A new trailer for the game–seen below–teases the upcoming updates.
In late October, Ball X Pit had sold 400,000 copies, meaning the game has more than doubled its sales over the past six weeks. The sales numbers come from copies sold on Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Ball X Pit is also available on Xbox Game Pass, but the subscription service doesn’t count toward traditional sales numbers.
Ball X Pit sees players utilizing and fusing over 60 balls to defeat enemies in autoscrolling levels. Think of it as a spin on classic brick-bricking games, with an infusion of Vampire Survivors and Loop Hero. Additionally, when not rolling over baddies with balls, players will work on reconstructing a town called New Ballbylon.
