The thing is, I cant afford a pc, or at least a desktop. the computer im on now has no space left, and its a laptop. if i had the choice, I would get it on pc, but why wouldn't they just update xbox 360? im so disappointed
The Xbox 360 is not getting the update because it simply wouldn't be able to run it. The Xbox 360 is over twelve years old by now, and for technology that is extremely old, so you can't expect it to run contemporary games.The thing is, I cant afford a pc, or at least a desktop. the computer im on now has no space left, and its a laptop. if i had the choice, I would get it on pc, but why wouldn't they just update xbox 360? im so disappointed
To be fair though, the decision to abandon 360 development was announced well over a year ago, so it's not exactly a sudden or surprising decision.
Because the XBox 360 (and PS3, PS Vita, Wii U and 3DS) don't have nearly enough RAM to support the upgraded game.The thing is, I cant afford a pc, or at least a desktop. the computer im on now has no space left, and its a laptop. if i had the choice, I would get it on pc, but why wouldn't they just update xbox 360? im so disappointed
This isn't new news; it was announced nearly a year and a half ago. I don't think we need to rehash the discussions about it again.

The King Santa has spoken!! I imagine Terraria in 4K would look amazing. I want to get my hands on a PS4 pro.

I'm actually excited that they delayed it for Xbox so they could add such a useful feature. I'd much rather have it load me back where I was than have it wipe my progress.

OhGood day, Terrarians!
We have some pretty big news to share today with all of you - especially our console players!

Terraria 1.3 Console Launch Window
After a long development cycle in order to completely rewrite the entire Terraria codebase for Xbox One and Playstation 4, Re-Logic, Pipeworks, and 505 Games are very pleased to announce that the Terraria Console 1.3 update has been officially submitted to Sony for certification & approval to launch on the Playstation 4!!! This means that - depending on how that approval process proceeds - we are in the final milestone before having all of the amazing content that you have been waiting so patiently for in the hands of PS4 players. Xbox One is going to run a bit behind Playstation, we are afraid - read on below for the full details around what is happening, when, and why!
PLAYSTATION 4
Submitted to Sony (12/6/17) - Estimated to launch prior to end of 2017
There is a chance that the date will slip a bit (this is out of our control, unfortunately), but we have spent a ton of time in QA across all three companies to try and make this update/rewrite as clean as we can. Hopefully, that will make for a fast and smooth certification! Of course, the team is already standing by for hotfixes for any bugs that are inevitably uncovered when you move from interior QA to a live build being played by millions of gamers.
XBOX ONE
Working on Final Critical Path Bugs (see below) - Submission TBD, Planned Launch in 2017, pending resolution of final bug
So, what about Xbox One?
Over the weekend, we had a couple of issues pop up that are isolated to the XB1 build and are also big enough of a deal that we feel we need to have these addressed prior to submission to Microsoft. The good news is that we are down to one last problem at this point. The team is currently wholly focused on this critical item - and we wanted to share a bit about what it is and how long we estimate it might take to get things sorted and XB1 off to submission. This may be more info than some people want, but we figured that some extra transparency couldn't hurt:
ESTIMATED TIMING: Friday, barring any further setbacks
- Console "Suspended State" - Currently, if you "suspend" your XB1 without Saving & Exiting, etc. (power down the console, but not all the way) and try to restart Terraria later, the game will place you back into the main menu. The root cause for this is that the console logs off your profile (and saves are tied to profiles) when you power down. This could potentially cause a player to lose any progress since their last save (again, if they did not Save & Exit prior to suspending the console).
- The team is looking to match the way other games handle this suspended state (if you log back in and do not change profiles, you can rejoin the game at the spot you left off)
- NOTE: If you enable Auto Sign-in in your XB1 settings, you can get around this issue entirely - so note that for later - but we wanted a solution that worked for everyone, not just those that are able and willing to make that settings tweak.
Once this issue is sorted out - barring any additional unforeseen critical bugs popping up - 505 is planning to submit the Xbox One version to Microsoft immediately thereafter. Again, hopefully, that will be a quick and painless process and we will have XB1 out in 2017 as well. However, you can see that these are not small "nuisance" bugs, and the Pipeworks team wants to take care to be certain that these are sorted out.
Please accept an apology on behalf of all three teams for what will hopefully be a minor delay for our Xbox fans. We will let you know immediately once it enters submission.
WHAT'S NEXT?
Once the console versions make it to launch, Pipeworks/505/Re-Logic will diligently collect any post-launch bugs that crop up or are found by you guys and start the process of having them addressed immediately. The teams are planning and ready for a set of hotfixes to cover these as well as any minor bugs that the team decided to defer to post-launch in order to get this update into your hands sooner vs later.
After that, Mobile & Switch will officially be "on the clock" - and our Mobile/Switch Terrarians can look forward to new updates on their platform soon! We hope to have updated general timing estimates for Mobile and the Nintendo Switch version in the near future. Once all that is sorted, the team will be getting together to lay out the future update cadence so that we can keep get those post-1.3 content updates to you in a timely fashion.
In closing, on behalf of everyone working on Terraria, thank you for your patience during this rewrite, and we are all beyond excited to see you all experience what this new version has to offer (1.3 content and beyond), to bring console up to speed as soon as possible with PC, and for what the future holds for the console platform!!!
Chippy love the videos m8!!

Is the ability to upload your character and world to the cloud getting removed? I thought I saw someone say it was, but haven't seen any official word on it. I would like it if it was taken away.
