Terraria State of the Game - August 2026

Greetings Terrarians!
​
So, 1.4.5.7 is out for PC, coming very soon for Console and Mobile - how exciting! We hope you all enjoy what is on offer with this latest Terraria update. The next few steps in our journey are pretty exciting, and we cannot wait to share all of that with you in the months ahead. For now, we have left a few hints in this month's developer update sections. We are currently on the road at Gamescom with the majority of Team Terraria and that has been equal parts productive and ridiculously fun. We will share more about our travels later on. All that said, let's cover what has been going on over the past month and a tease for what lies ahead, shall we?

On with the show!





We hope that everyone has been enjoying what Terraria 1.4.5.7 has to offer over the past week or so. As we mentioned previously, we will be watching feedback closely to see what tweaks might need to be made in addition to a few other tidbits that we still want to address in future updates. In case you missed it for some reason, the link to the changelog thread is below.

TERRARIA 1.4.5.7 CHANGELOG

Once 1.4.5.7 is out for Console and Mobile and we have a few days to ensure all is well and stable, we will be pushing directly into Terraria 1.4.6, which will be Phase One of Crossplay! There may be some other minor things within that update as well, but Crossplay is the name of the game. In case you need a refresher about how Terraria Crossplay will roll out - namely, in two distinct phases - we have included a link to that summary from DR Studios below:

CROSSPLAY ROLLOUT PLAN - FROM FEBRUARY 2026 STATE OF THE GAME

We cannot wait for Terraria to enter the Crossplay era at long last! Stay tuned for updates on that journey soon.




The Re-Logic and DR Studios teams met this week at Gamescom in Cologne, Germany for a few days of planning sessions, idea development, team building and more. This is the first time that both teams have been able to connect in person since prior to COVID.






Out and about at Gamescom

We went over all sorts of topics, from how we can better work together to ideas for future Terraria updates and beyond. The results of that planning will all come together in a couple of weeks once we can go over notes and turn that into what might fit best into each future update. We will be sharing at least some of the big picture in regards to how everything will operate going ahead in the near future. You will definitely want to stay tuned for that!



Team Terraria!


Running into fans on the road


So, you didn't make it to Gamescom to hang with Team Terraria this year?





Hello everyone!

On September 1st, the regular monthly update release of tModLoader for 1.4.4 will go live. Some notable features include enabling 'content descriptors' on Steam Workshop and a simplified API for adding flails in mods.

As mentioned previously, the tModLoader team has been spending most of our efforts working on updating tModLoader to the latest Terraria 1.4.5 update - including 1.4.5.8. We are continuing to see a huge amount of community participation and contributions for the 1.4.5 update and are extremely grateful for those willing to help with this process through code contributions, bug reporting, testing, and participating in the discussions that take place on Discord. The tModLoader team will continue to work with experienced modders to progress towards the tModLoader 1.4.5 release.

This process as well as any other big changes desired by the modding community for this update will take many months still. There are still many tasks to be done, if you are interested in contributing code for the 1.4.5 update, the 1.4.5 Update Information page has information on how to contribute and what tasks remain to be done. That page also explains how to join the "1.4.5-dev" beta branch on Steam to test out the current state of the update. Users can join that beta branch to help identify and report remaining bugs.

Modders and users should also keep an eye out for our monthly Steam announcement on the 1st where a complete listing of bug fixes and API changes for this month's release will be listed. The in-game news button on the main menu will direct you directly to the announcement once it is live.

We look forward to seeing how mods make use of these new features. As always, if you are having issues of any sort, definitely don't hesitate to check out our FAQ on github or reach out to us at our Discord.



The TML Steam Workshop has over 10,000 mods for you to enjoy! Coupled with the in-game mod browser, the TML Steam Workshop is a great way to explore what modded Terraria has to offer - check it out today by clicking the banner above!




Hello Terrarians!

As you know by now, Terraria 1.4.5.7 released for PC about a week ago. In parallel, we have prepared the Console and Mobile builds for submission and that process is underway. Once we hear back from the various first parties, we will be able to bring the latest Terraria update to everyone else. The intent was to make this a simultaneous update, but that just wasn't feasible this time due to the travel and such. Speaking of, the joint planning session with Re-Logic this week was amazing, helping to set the future of Terraria in place.

So, no spoilers this month - just an update that 1.4.5.7 (and 1.4.5.8) is coming very soon and this week was a great one!

Until next time, Console & Mobile friends - thanks for all of your love and support!
