Terraria State of the Game - June 2022
Greetings Terrarians!
We don't know about you, but the heat this summer has been brutal so far to us! Sounds like a good excuse to grab some gaming time and catch up on the latest and greatest Terraria news, right? Development work on the Labor of Love update is in full swing across both the Re-Logic and DR Studios teams - and we are really excited for some of the juicy spoilers that we have in store for you this month (on top of those we have already shared this month in case you missed them on our socials). That said, grab a cold beverage, cool off, and settle in for this month's State of the Game!

r/terraria Subreddit Reaches One Million Terrarians!
Wow, what a milestone for our amazing r/terraria subreddit! One of our longest-standing communities, r/terraria has always been a fantastic place to discuss news, share epic builds, ask for advice, and just generally hang out and shoot the breeze with other Terrarians. If you haven't taken the time to check out r/terraria, there is no better time to do so... over one million Terrarians can't be wrong, right!?
In celebration of r/terraria hitting this momentous milestone, we thought we would take a few minutes to ask everyone to share their favorite r/terraria threads of all time. Could be something awesome or funny or just plain bizarre. Anything goes - just share the thread link and why you think its one of...
Terraria State of the Game - May 2022
Greetings Terrarians!
May? It is seriously the end of May already? 2022 is certainly on an express train in terms of how fast time is flying by!

Well, time will tell - but let's kick things off the right way with our final State of the Game update before Summer 2022 is here in earnest!

Terraria Turns Eleven - Town Slimes Are Coming to Celebrate the Occasion!
11 years ago, Terraria was shared with the world for the first time, and 11 years later, Terraria remains our Labor of Love – a game that is like a child to us. We have enjoyed watching Terraria evolve and grow over the years and equally continue to enjoy the outpouring of support from all of you. Thank you all so very much!
We look forward to continuing the Terraria franchise journey with you for many more years to come!
In celebration of Terraria’s 11th Anniversary, we are proud to introduce the latest addition to our Pet License roster: Town Slimes! This cast of characters is packed with personality and players will get the chance to have one Town Slime move into their towns when the Labor of Love update comes out later this year.
Which Town Slime are you hoping will move in with you?

Terraria 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 Out Now on Console & Mobile!
We are pleased to share that the Terraria 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 updates are now available for play on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS devices! This has been a new experience for the team - trying to release across 5 platforms at once - and we have learned a lot that we will apply moving forward to make things even more efficient. After all, if we are someday able to pull off Crossplay, this will be the way that all updates will have to work, right?
Today's update will bring all currently-developed Terraria platforms up to content parity, which has been a very rare occasion. The team is, of course, aware that the upcoming Labor of Love update for PC will break content parity once again... but the team is standing by to make that gap as small and as fast as possible. Once any needed fixes are done for the 1.4.1 - 1.4.3 updates, the team will launch...
Terraria State of the Game - March 2022
Greetings Terrarians!
March already... well almost April really?! 2022 is flying by - but we are sure glad to see Spring starting to come into full bloom and with it, a lot of the plans we have been discussing in earlier States of the Game are close to coming to fruition! 1.4.3 for Consoles and Mobile (parity... at least for a time!) is right around the corner, Labor of Love draws ever-closer, and we have a lot of exciting things to come on the community and merch fronts as well. So much has already happened this year, but we are just getting warmed up.
Let's see what is in store shall we?

New Official Terraria Wiki Launches Today!
Greetings Terrarians!
The Terraria Wiki has been a valuable resource to players everywhere over the nearly 11 years(!) of Terraria's history. With so much content to explore, having such a comprehensive summary of everything at your fingertips is simply fantastic. The Wiki has undergone quite a few changes over the years from its beginnings alongside Terraria Online all the way to the current iteration run by Fandom. Throughout that time, we have been so fortunate to work with a lot of awesome partners in order to evolve and maintain a strong wiki for our fans.
The time has come for the next step on the Terraria Wiki evolutionary journey! Starting today, Re-Logic is proud to announce that we are launching a new location and partner for the Official Terraria Wiki!
Moving forward, we...
Terraria State of the Game - February 2022

Of course, we couldn't do any of this without the love and support that you show us each and every day. So thank you, once again and we love you all!

Terraria 1.4.3.3 - Steam Deck Optimization Update Release Notes
As we have mentioned over the past few months, the team has been hard at work on an update to further optimize Terraria for Steam Deck play - inclusive of performance and controls. With the Steam Deck officially shipping out to players starting today, we are pleased to be able to push this update out to everyone just in time! For Terrarians that are not playing on Steam Deck at this time, dont fret, as we have some quality of life, balance, and bug fixes for you as well. Without further ado, let's dive right in!
Please note that this update also includes an update to the Terraria Dedicated Server application. You can always find the latest version of this at the bottom of Terraria.org, but we have included a link below for today's version as well:

Terraria State of the Game - January 2022
We missed you over the holiday break - between all of the usual family and friends, running around, and with more or less all of the pertinent news items being covered off at the end of November, we decided to push off the State of the Game and just move on into the new year. So here we are, 2022 has kicked off with a bang. Week one saw Terraria winning the 2022 Labor of Love Steam Award as well as the launch of Journey's End on Nintendo Switch. Week two saw the re-imagined China Mobile version of Terraria winning TapTap's 2021 Game of the Year. Behind the scenes, things have been equally busy, with each development team hard at work on what is to come later this year. What all does that entail, you say? Let's get into the details!
Happy New Year!

Terraria: Journey's End Now Available on Nintendo Switch!
Initially released in May 2020 for PC, Journey's End brings Terraria to the next level, to a place where the core game can finally be called "complete". From new ways to play the game, to over 1000 new items to find and craft, to new bosses to challenge, and even a full-pass review of all content of the game for balance, graphic quality, and mechanics - truly, Journey's End has something for everyone. We cannot wait to see your reactions as you dive in to all that this update has to offer, and we hope that you thoroughly enjoy our gift to you. It has been an amazing journey indeed... but we truly feel that this end is really just a new beginning for the amazing world of Terraria.
This release will bring Switch up to an equivalent (content-wise) of the 1.4.0.5...
Terraria Wins the 2021 Labor of Love Award!
What else can we say but wow. Just wow, Terrarians. You are all simply amazing and it is so humbling to finally be able to pull down the win here - and against rather stiff competition. We know it is 100% due to your loyal support of our team and game over the years, and it is truly a pleasure to be able to work on an amazing game such as Terraria and then to share it with all of you.
Terraria truly is a Labor of Love for our team - like a family member to us - and to see it gain recognition such as this means more than we can say. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much to each and every fan out there and for each and every vote. It has been and remains our honor to deliver the Terraria experience to you. We look forward to an even brighter future ahead - with Steam Deck optimizations, content parity for all platforms, and (hopefully, fingers crossed!) crossplay later this year. Journey's End may have...
