The PC version of Terraria has averaged 461,000 average players per day in the past year with a peak of 1.4 million players in a single day. tModLoader averaged 237,000 per day, while it peaked at 441,000. The average number of hours played on PC is 101 hours and 18 minutes.
Terraria first released for PC in 2011, for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, iOS, and Android in 2013, for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2014, for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015, for the Wii U in 2016, for the Nintendo Switch in June 2019, and for Google Stadia in 2021.
"So, where does the path lead from here? What does the future hold for Terraria and Re-Logic?" said Re-Logic.
"Well, for now we are comfortable confirming that Crossplay is on deck soon... and that Terraria Updates will continue beyond 1.4.6/Crossplay. How that will work and what those entail will be shared as we go along. You will want to stay tuned for that!
"Beyond that, we have other plans and ideas that we will share when the time is right, but suffice to say that the world of Terraria remains and will remain vibrant and alive for as long as we have anything to say about it!
"Here's to 15 more years... and beyond!"

Terraria is the 8th best-selling game of all-time based on games we have official sales data for.
That's odd, wikipedia's ranking has Terraria at 7th, not 8th, what are they missing on their table? I know wikipedia's table has some mistakes, for instance they have Skyrim at 30m with a source from 2016 when Todd Howard announced 60m for it back in 2023.
1 - Minecraft - 350M
2 - GTAV - 225M
3 - Wii Sports - 82.9M
4 - RDR2- 82M
5 - Ark SE - 76M
6 - PUBG - 75M
7 - MK8 - 79.46M
8 - Terraria - 70M
9 (tie) - Skyrim - 60M
9 (tie) - Witcher 3 - 60M
Wikipedia is missing Ark then.
I sometimes wonder what that wikipedia editor’s problem is with acknowledging Skyrim selling 60 million copies.
I get having mild doubt at the time, but three years later it’s surely hit that milestone.
Yeah, it's so stupid. The Wikipedia editor claims it is because Todd Howard had a history of overexaggerating things, but I hardly think Todd would lie about how many sales it has. Not to mention 60m sales in 12 years is absolutely within reason for a game that sold 30m in less than 4 years. Between the 30m statement in 2016 and the 60m statement in 2023, Skyrim released on 5 new platforms, XB1, PS4, Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series. Every Steam sale when the game drops to $4 it sells well and I'm sure it also sells well when the consoles have it on sale. It has had consistently strong player counts ever since release, currently 25k players in game on Steam putting it at #64 most played, on Xbox's US Most Played list it is at #36 right now.
12M over the past two years is insane! Wow. Granted it’s only $5USD on Steam, though still huge especially for an indie.
I wanted to love the game but could no't get into it still happy it is doing well because this kind of type games are normally also something I could get into.
Wow, that's just insane. The average playtime is also insane - and to be clear, the insane part is that the average is about 100 hours. That's... a lot.
Quite possibly the best indie game ever.
Can't recommend it enough.
