Hello console and mobile Terrarians! We have some exciting news to share with you today. Before we get to that, we would like to share a short story; if you can indulge us for a few minutes. If you really cannot wait to read the news, click HERE to go straight there.
Shakespeare once wrote “the course of true love never did run smooth” and although it’s admittedly a fairly obtuse reference, the same can often be said of videogame development and publishing. Well, maybe less often said, of course, but equally true nonetheless! So where’s all this going, you might ask? In the course of any great work, it’s important to take stock of your journey to this point, your current location, and the paths ahead toward your desired destination. A large part of that self-reflection is taking stock of areas of success – and places where you could stand to perform better. As we enter the next phase of console/mobile developments, today felt like a perfect opportunity to share some of that with you.
505 Games and Re-Logic have been partnering on the expansion of Terraria “beyond PC” for a few years now, and throughout that time we’ve been delighted by the way the fanbase has grown and expanded to take in new platforms, new territories, and -most importantly - excited new fans. From the outset we’ve been driven to expand the reach of the fantastic gaming experience that is Terraria to an ever-wider group of gamers and thereafter delivering as much of the ever-evolving PC content to the console and mobile fanbase as quickly and completely as possible. In addition, we felt it important to embrace the philosophy that Re-Logic follows on the PC side of Terraria – and so we have and will always keep these updates free of charge. This is the fantastic and successful side of our work to-date: expanding the Terraria universe while staying true to the spirit and culture it stands for.
That said, things haven’t always gone according to plan. It’s important for us to recognize that - despite our best intentions - there have been hurdles and pitfalls along the way. We’re not seeking to languish in the past or dredge up old wounds, but we know that there have been issues and instances which have frustrated and upset our fans. Whether it was the state of the initial launch of the 1.2 console update or – more recently – the mobile crash issues, we know that things have not always been as they should for you guys. We also understand that we may not have been as open and communicative in the past as we should be – and that this likely exacerbated any negative feelings or confusion you may have had.
Well, simply put: we are sincerely sorry for where mistakes have been made. That said, we want to do far more than apologize; we want to make amends and improve our performance. Allow us to share some of what that entails.
Terraria has grown from strength to strength since its first PC outing a little over four years ago, and we’re proud to have been part of that expansion. Although with that that growth there have been growing pains, and with those growing pains painful lessons. However as well as accepting our mistakes it’s equally important to note that we’ve learned from those mistakes. Not only are we working more smartly now, but we are also ‘doubling down’ on our investments of time and money in order to underline our commitment to delivering the very best for the franchise and – most importantly – its community of loyal fans.
In terms of specifics, let’s cover a handful of areas where we will be stepping up our game:
Quality Assurance: We’ve completely overhauled the way we QA Terraria.
More stable, dedicated testing teams – people that truly know the game vs the “standard” technical-only approach to console testing. Terraria simply isn’t a game that fits the mold – and testing needs to follow suit.
More direct engagement/partnering with Re-Logic on prioritization of content, catching bugs/issues earlier, etc.
Focusing on smaller and faster updates – this allows for a tighter “window” of content to test (and fix as necessary) vs something as massive as, say, 1.2 was.
On Mobile, you will have seen some of the results of this already over the past several weeks. This is an ongoing process, and we have a handful of additional fixes coming – so stay tuned there!
Customer Service & Community Engagement
We are applying the same approach – leveraging more experienced people that know the game and the community – in how we will be answering customer inquiries/issues and in how we interact with the community across places like TCF and social media.
We are also becoming more closely integrated with Re-Logic in order to enhance our understanding of the needs of the community, and to gain better foresight on the PC content coming down the pipeline.
Our plan is to be more open with our communication of “coming events” as well.
Our hope is that this will result in a more engaging and streamlined experience, and to aid in the quality and efficiency of future development on Console & Mobile.
This is still very much in process, so stay tuned and keep providing your invaluable feedback to help guide us here!
So, in short: by more closely partnering with Re-Logic, engaging community and game experts, and listening to you…we will raise our game across the board and deliver the best possible Terraria experience possible on Console & Mobile.

Not only do you get ‘Additions’, but we are also releasing a mobile Companion App for the PS4 and XBox ONE versions of Terraria, for both iOS and Android devices. The Companion App will operate as a ‘World Map’ live-steaming your in-game location, allowing you to see what’s around you to either to either go and explore or fight, and all without ever having to bring up a menu or having to pause your game.
We look forward to bringing you further content later in the year.
In closing, we hope you have enjoyed what we have brought to the Terraria experience to-date and that you will accept our apologies for the places where things have gone awry. We can and will do better. Moving forward, we are confident that you will enjoy the content we’re bringing to the mobile and console platforms, and we hope that are as excited for the future of the franchise as we are.
Please do some research about the names of the updates. It wasn’t even in the game before 1.2.3. The mobile version never got a 1.2.3 update, what we just got is 1.2.2 + 1.2.3 + 1.2.4.
Where do they make these announcements? Link please. First everyone’s saying they said they dropped support for Everyplay, and now this.
Does he give Golden Fishing Rod? I haven’t gotten that far, I’ve only done about 20 quests on my character.
Your asked for a link for what I wrote a few posts ago, so I searched and found the post 505 games made and quoted it so you and others could read it. If you want to read it you need to open it, on Mobile devices you just need to tap it. The stuff I wrote was directed at people that post only insults and nothing constructive about the bugs. You post a lot of bugs and your obsession with dukefishron which isn't insulting.
tbh I would compare the sell prices of bars to ore on the wiki, then determine how many ores go in one bar. Let's say it takes 4 ore for one bar. If the ore sells for 50 silver a piece, and a bar sells for 1 gold, it's more efficient to sell it by ore. But this is just a example, I don't know the exact price.
I highly recommend you compare first before selling all that demonite, as it will either result in you gaining or losing possibly a few platinum.
Hi, I have a question. A few days ago I was still getting the "play trial version" home screen. As of last night I have no home screen and I get a message that says "connecting to server" then "failed download/install" with the little green load icon spinning endlessly. What does that mean for me?

Dude, I did my research. If you know what update I'm talking about, why tell me to do research? Unless you're not talking about me, what I meant specifically was 1.3 = 1.2.3 and 1.4 = 1.2.4.

There, I fixed it. And I've done my "research" as you call it. I've had Terraria mobile since the beginning of last year. At some point, I found a living loom. Shortly after I found the living loom, I looked it up on the official Terraria wiki page. Shortly after that, I realized it was a damn pointless item. But! After update ONE point TWO point THREE, (1.2.3), the living loom (SHOULD) now serve(s) a purpose, ie, crafting various living wood furniture. HOWEVER, I, as well as other people, have not been able to find a living loom, so I can not test this supposed assumption.
That being said, would you like to do some research?
ok, this is not a bug, but there is no superfast buying. you added superfast crafting, which is good, but i have to wait for like five minutes to get a few stacks of bullets. in fact i am buying them not. if you would add that i would be most obliged.

Look buddy I hate to rain on your parade but if you check the wiki, the living loom was introduced in 1.2.3. Idk what you found before but it definitely wasn't a living loom. Also, there was no 1.2.3 specific update for mobile. 1.2.2,.3 and .4 came as a package.
@SHADOW LORD TSC you got angler armor? And fuzzy carrot? What platform are you on and was it after correct amount of quests?

Look, you can present your "facts" all you want, but the real fact is, you can't take away a piece of my life that I myself experienced. That being said, here's a thought, before you even attempt to try and put me in my place, perhaps the most obvious reason as to why I actually somehow found a living loom one time, yeah ONE time, you ever stop to think it was a bug? Cause I remember it, it was weird looking. It didn't look like the one on the wiki page, it looked like a regular loom, but green. Don't ask me how the hell it got into my game, but it was there and now it's not. You can try to deny what I saw an experienced with my own eyes, but in the end, it happened. It was most likely a bug, but it happened. Maybe the "loom" thing I found wasn't a living loom, that seems to be the most likely answer, but I found it inside a living wood chest inside the living wood tree. There. I'm done talking about this. I don't give two craps about the past, I'm interested in the now and right now, I'm curious to know where the living loom is in the mobile version. If you don't have any information on it, then spare me your words.
Has any one gotten the angler armor or the fuzzy carrot on IOS. I have done 20-30 quest and the only things I have gotten are the high test fishing line, angler earring, and the tackle box
