Terraria State of the Game - October 20262026-10-29Greetings Terrarians! It's spooky season once again - one of our favorite times of the year! We didn't quite get anything together in regards to a Halloween Contest this year, but we have a few contest ideas that might be coming your way soon - courtesy of our brand new Community Manager! More on that in a bit. On the development front, we have been putting the finishing touches on Crossplay Phase One. The Crossplay era of Terraria is drawing very close, and we will share some details on progress and timing in the development news section below. Beyond that, we are getting ready for the last few months of the year and setting plans in place f
Terraria State of the Game - September 20262026-09-24Greetings Terrarians! Wow, what a month it has been for our little team! A few of us went on a multi-week international odyssey (more on that below) that started with Gamescom and ended up in China! The rest of the team has been hard at work putting the finishing touches on Crossplay Phase One alongside a handful of lingering fixes that remain from 1.4.5.8. We have a strong plan moving forward, and we cannot wait to share it all with you! For now, enjoy some pics from the road alongside the latest and greatest Terraria news. Crossplay - Phase One should be in your hands in the near future! On with the show! DEVELOPMENT NEWS - RE-LOGIC & DR ST
Terraria State of the Game - August 20262026-08-30Greetings Terrarians! ​ So, 1.4.5.7 is out for PC, coming very soon for Console and Mobile - how exciting! We hope you all enjoy what is on offer with this latest Terraria update. The next few steps in our journey are pretty exciting, and we cannot wait to share all of that with you in the months ahead. For now, we have left a few hints in this month's developer update sections. We are currently on the road at Gamescom with the majority of Team Terraria and that has been equal parts productive and ridiculously fun. We will share more about our travels later on. All that said, let's cover what has been going on over the past month and a tease
Terraria 1.4.5.7 - Out Now for PC! (Console/Mobile Soon)2026-08-19Greetings Terrarians! At long last, we are pleased to announce that Terraria 1.4.5.7 is out now for PC! Terraria 1.4.5.7 is the latest and last (barring any critical fixes needed) hotfix for the Bigger and Boulder update. It has a heavy focus on balance, including stat and functionality changes to existing items and even some brand new items that we are sure you will all enjoy. Of course, while we were at it, we dealt with some outstanding bugs and more. We decided to post this update separately vs with all of the other hotfixes given its scope. We had originally planned to sync this release across PC-Mobile-Console, but with Gamescom coming
Terraria State of the Game - July 20262026-07-30Greetings Terrarians! Hot enough for you out there? The way we figure it, there is no better way to dodge these insane heatwaves than getting some game time. Of course, we remain hard at work on the latest update (1.4.5.7) as well as laying the groundwork for what is to come soon thereafter. Parts of the team are also gearing up for some upcoming travel. It is an exciting time for Terraria and our team, and we cannot wait to share that journey with all of you in the coming months. For now, we will just leave the details as a mystery! Let's dive right into the latest Terraria news... PC - RE-LOGIC TERRARIA 1.4.5.7 - THE FINAL PUSH Terraria 1.4
Terraria State of the Game - June 20262026-06-25Greetings Terrarians! Another month in the books! It has been a hectic one indeed, between work on 1.4.5.7, doing some interviews for the Design Works book, getting ready for some upcoming events in the fall, and more. We are very ready to get what we hope will be the last (or darn close to it) hotfix update for Bigger and Boulder into your hands and then to get rolling on what comes next. Crossplay and beyond, the future is going to be a fun one. Before then, we are getting ever closer to wrapping up what has to be the largest "hotfix" type update in Terraria's history. We do think the time taken will be well worth it, as we are trying to ta
Terraria: Design Works - Preorder yours today!2026-06-18TERRARIA: DESIGN WORKS This premium book will chart the design and development of Terraria from its inception back in 2011 through to today, written by Christian Donlan. Now you can dig into the game’s development itself with Terraria: Design Works. Based on in-depth interviews with Andrew Spinks, the singular individual who created Terraria, along with the fascinating team who have worked with him to keep the game thriving for the last fifteen years, this is the story of a game developed with passion, ingenuity, imagination and generosity. It’s easy to lose yourself in Terraria when playing, and now you’ll discover the challenges of charting
Terraria 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition - Preorders are now open!2026-06-10Greetings, Terrarians!

We think this is a nice handful of really cool collectables that the fans will enjoy. Anyway, let's jump right in to the details, shall we? Check out a quick video preview of the Terraria 15th Anniversary Collector's Edition! So, what all is included? TERRARIAN HERO FIGURINE Recreating Terraria’s iconic box art, this stunning figurine diorama stands just over 6 inches tall. This proud Terrarian hero strides forth into the depths in search of adventure, fortune, and certain death! ---
Terraria State of the Game - May 20262026-05-28Greetings Terrarians! We are back once again with the latest and greatest Terraria news. It was another eventful month - Terraria turned 15(!), we saw the teaser reveals of both the Collector's Edition and the Design Works retrospective book, and a ton of progress took place on 1.4.5.7 as well. That one is shaping up nicely, we think, and thank you for giving us the time needed to try and get it as right as possible on the first go - a big challenge with any balance-based task. All that said, we hope you will enjoy what we have to share this month and are as excited as we are for what is to come in the weeks and months ahead! Let's see what i
Celebrating 15 Years of Terraria!2026-05-16Fifteen Years?! That is a long time indeed! That's 131,400 hours - which quite a few of you have chosen to spend with our humble game. To say that reaching this milestone is equal parts insane and humbling is a massive understatement. It is really hard to put into words what your support for these many years has meant to our little studio. Simply put, you all are the engine that makes this all work. Your support allows us to keep going, keep expanding upon Terraria, without having to fall back to price increases or microtransactions. This is becoming increasingly rare in modern gaming, and we cannot thank you enough for making what we do ever
Terraria State of the Game - April 20262026-05-01Greetings Terrarians! How in the world is it almost Summer already?! It feels like 1.4.5 launch was just yesterday... Our team has been head-down working away on post launch support for 1.4.5 and we really think everyone is going to enjoy what is coming soon in Terraria 1.4.5.7. You will get to see a bit more of that in the update sections below in this State of the Game. As it is balance focused, we are certain there will need to be some tweaks in what we assume will be 1.4.5.8 before we can hopefully - at long last - call 1.4.5 done and move on to the wonderful world of Crossplay. We received our Terraria Board Game copies as well, but we h
Terraria State of the Game: March 20262026-03-26Greetings Terrarians! Spring is finally here - we think - sort of? Seriously, last week we had both 80F days and a day of snow. Come on nature, make up your mind! On a serious note, work on 1.4.5.7 continues unabated. As we mentioned previously, this post launch fix update is heavily focused on balance. Console and Mobile continue to chase right behind while preparing for Crossplay. The Terraria Board Game Kickstarter copies are finally hitting the hands of players (exciting!). It really has been an eventful month - and year - so far, with so much more to come. With all that being said, shall we dive into the details? What lies in wait for Te

Terraria State of the Game - February 20262026-02-26Greetings Terrarians! After a brief hiatus - because the State of the Game last month should have been pretty obvious haha - we are back again with the usual monthly update across the world of Terraria. What a time it has been since our last SOTG - Terraria 1.4.5 released and has seen several rounds of fixes already (with more to come), a handful of new merch products released (details on that below), and planning is well underway for "what comes next". We will be hitting on all of those topics alongside our usual community pieces this month. Before we launch into all of that, we wanted to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to Terra
Terraria 1.4.5: Bigger & Boulder - Available Now!2026-01-27Happy launch day, Terrarians! At long last, today is the day: Terraria 1.4.5 is here! What better way to kick off the year of Terraria's 15th Anniversary, right? We know the wait has been a long one, but we hope that everyone enjoys what this latest update has in store. As always, we will be posting any hotfixes or important information regarding Terraria 1.4.5 here in this launch post thread, so you will want to keep an eye on this one for sure. Focusing on the goal of a global, synchronized launch across all platforms and regions, we will be rolling out today on PC, Console, and Mobile everywhere except for the bespoke China Mobile version.
Terraria 1.4.5 - the Launch Date Revealed at Last!2026-01-14Greetings, Terrarians! As we mentioned in last month's State of the Game, things were looking up for a January 2026 release. We did have to resubmit a few things, which pushed us back a bit further than expected. However, and to keep this short and sweet, we are happy to share that... TERRARIA 1.4.5 WILL RELEASE ON JANUARY 27TH! We have a few more things to get done between now and then (a couple of approvals still pending as well), but start the countdown because Terraria 1.4.5 will be in your hands in 13 short days! See you then!​
Terraria State of the Game - December 20252025-12-26Greetings Terrarians! Here we are once again at the end of another year. One filled with ups and downs, highs and lows, but through it all we remain so thankful for all of you Terrarians - and even more excited for what lies ahead. We will get into the short term details of that below, but we will leave you wondering and speculating about what is in store for 2026 and beyond. After we get through 1.4.5, we will dive into that with everyone. For now, expect a very abbreviated State of the Game this month. Given the timing of the last Thursday of December this year, pretty much all of our partners (and, indeed our team) has stepped away for the
Terraria State of the Game - November 20252025-11-28Greetings Terrarians! A very Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you! Our teams are taking a small break today and tomorrow to spend time with friends and family (and generous helpings of turkey, dressing, and more). Of course, Christmas and the busy shopping season lurks right around the corner as well - so much going on all at once! It goes without saying that we are beyond thankful for the support you all show us each and every day. Even on the most difficult of days, it is that support that makes it all worthwhile. You make all of this possible, and we never forget that. We also know it has been overlong with the Terraria 1.4.5 de
Terraria State of the Game - October 20252025-10-30Greetings Terrarians! Happy Halloween from all of us to all of you! Halloween has always been one of our favorite times of the year - especially when we get to see all of the crazy costumes, creepy decorations, and creative pumpkins that Terrarians put together each year. So, whether you entered the annual Halloween Contest or not... please be sure to share your spookiest creations with us! On the development side of things, we do have some more clarity on timing to share this month. There are still a lot of moving parts involved that could adjust things, but it is starting to feel like we know the general boundaries. More on that in a bit. F
Terraria State of the Game - September 20252025-09-25Greetings Terrarians! We have one foot already into the Fall season - our favorite season of the year! - and we are drawing ever closer to the release of Terraria 1.4.5. More on that below. We are also getting really close to the release of the Terraria Board Game in November. The end of the year is setting up to be quite eventful indeed! We are also already setting the stage for what lies ahead in 2026 - Terraria's 15th Anniversary year. We hope we can bring some more cool stuff your way as a result of those plans, but that will have to wait for another day. For now, let's dive in to the latest and greatest news in the world of Terraria! Wha
Terraria State of the Game - August 20252025-08-28Greetings Terrarians! August was quite an eventful month for Team Terraria. We are well into the final push for Terraria 1.4.5 (for real, more on that below), and tickets are flying through the system. Several members of the team were also able to get together in person this month for the first time in many years - and for the first time ever with some folks. We have also been able to take care of a lot of planning for "what comes next" that will hopefully make for more consistency down the line. More on that in the future. With that said, we are all back home and ready to push this over the line. Let's get right into it, shall we? PC - RE-LO
Terraria State of the Game - July 20252025-07-31Greetings Terrarians! Hot enough out there for everyone? Seems like there is nowhere that is safe from the heat wave this summer! More time to stay cool, stay indoors, and play video games, right? On our end, work on Terraria 1.4.5 continues unabated - we think this month's spoiler is a particularly fun one. Still no dates to share, which we know will be disappointing to everyone, but we are doing our very best to get to that day as quickly as possible. That said, again we hope that you enjoy what we have in store for you this month... and hopefully it will not be too much longer before we can give you that launch window. Let's dive right in
Terraria State of the Game - June 20252025-06-27Greetings Terrarians! Happy summertime everyone! Well, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. All hands remain on deck in regards to Terraria development. To get the tough part out of the way first, we still do not have a release date to give out. Every day is one day closer, of course, but we are trying to remain overly cautious and conservative in regards to giving out any timing. We do not want to repeat the mistake of giving out a timing window and then have things change and it not be accurate. So, we must once again ask for your continued patience as we do the hard work that needs to be done in order to ensure a quality update for everyon
Terraria State of the Game - May 20252025-05-29Greetings Terrarians! May has come and gone already? Time is really flying this year - or maybe it's just us? Terraria turned 14 years old this month, which is crazy to think about - a massive thanks to each and every one of you for your support over the years! Anyway, another month of progress is in the books and the concerted effort (and extra hands on deck) towards tackling tickets is already paying off. Our rate of working through these has accelerated noticeably. There is still a good ways to go, but we are very pleased with the pace. We know that everyone is desperately wanting a release window. We discuss this very topic on a regular b
Terraria Turns Fourteen!2025-05-16Happy Terraria Day! Fourteen years ago today, a little game called Terraria launched on Steam and the rest is history. Since that time, over 64 million Terrarians across the globe have accepted the challenge - to traverse the dangerous biomes of Terraria in search of fortune, glory, and the defeat of the nefarious Moon Lord.To say we appreciate each and every one of you would be the understatement of all time. Quite simply, your support is what keeps Terraria alive, vibrant, and growing. Here’s to many more years of Terraria! In celebration, we have released the latest in our “Retro Terraria” collection on Steam: Terraria 1.3 - Lunacy! If you
Terraria State of the Game - April 20252025-04-24Greetings Terrarians! Spring has certainly sprung in our neck of the woods. Everything is greening up, flowers are in bloom, and the allergies are off the charts! Lots of interesting things going on behind the scenes as of late - hopefully some of that comes to fruition and we can share the details in later months. We know things are a bit chaotic in the world right now as well, so we do hope that Terraria can at least provide an area of respite for everyone. We also know that releasing the update would certainly help in that regard. We are doing all that we can to not only get this one done, but also plan a bit ahead to streamline things for
Terraria State of the Game - March 20252025-03-27Greetings Terrarians! Anybody feeling especially lucky this month? We sure hope so, because we have some fun stuff to share this month - and we are one month closer to getting this update into your hands. It is crazy to see that the first three months of 2025 have already flown by. We promise that there is a pretty cool update sitting in the pot of gold at the end of this very long rainbow. One upside is that the extended update timeline has given DR Studios the chance to dive into even more polish and improvements on things specific to Console and Mobile. We hope that love and care will come through to everyone when the time comes. With that
Terraria State of the Game: February 20252025-02-27Greetings Terrarians! Ah February, the month of love, or something like that? Well, we certainly love and appreciate each and every Terrarian out there, so let's go with it! Anyway, the team is whittling away at the remaining tickets in the system and making great headway down that road. We also have some fun new spoilers to showcase this month that we hope everyone will enjoy. Beyond that, we are really just hoping to be able to finally give a release window with some certainty sometime soon. We know that this update has taken a very long time and we appreciate your patience more than we can say. Please just hang in there with us a bit longe
Terraria State of the Game - January 20252025-01-30Greetings Terrarians! 2025 is here and we are here for it! Things are setting up for this to be quite the year for Terraria and Terrarians everywhere, and we hope that everyone is as excited as we are for what is to come. From the long-awaited update to (hopefully!) the release of crossplay to the release of Terraria: the Board Game and more - there will be lots to do and enjoy. Team Terraria is - as always - beyond appreciative of each of you that choose to continue along with us on our journey. So, let's settle in and learn a bit more about what this year has in store!
