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 Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
