Terraria has sold over 70M copies with an average playtime of 100 hours

Terraria is turning 15 years old and the dedicated team behind the game aren't done yet. The team at Re-Logic has announced plans for further updates beyond the new Crossplay update. 

In a new developer blog shared on Steam, the Terraria team celebrated their 15-year anniversary, sharing plans for the future, alongside impressive sales stats. As it turns out, over 15 years, Terraria has sold over 70 million copies, with around 40 million on PC, 20 million on mobile and 10 million on consoles. The average player counts for the game have remained high as well, with a peak player count of 1.4 million in a single day, and a peak of over 440,000 players playing modded versions of the game.

Interestingly, the average playtime for a Terraria PC player is over 100 hours, a colossal achievement for any game.

In the near future, Terraria will get its long-awaited crossplay update, allowing players from mobile, PC and console to play together. Beyond that though, the studio has “other plans and ideas” for future updates, with the goal of ensuring Terraria remains “vibrant and alive”.

Hardcore fans of Terraria can also look forward to a mysterious new Collector's Edition of the game, which has been teased with a number of physical goodies.

KitGuru Says: Do you still play Terraria after all this time? The game has certainly had staying power, despite tough competition in the sandbox game market.
