2D survival crafting game Terraria <\/em>celebrated its 15th anniversary on May 16, and developer Re-Logic revealed some impressive sales figures to mark the occasion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Steam post about the anniversary confirmed that Terraria <\/em>has sold 70 million copies. 39.6 million of those copies sold were on Steam alone. The console versions have sold a combined 10.7 million copies, while 19.7 million copies have been sold on mobile. Re-Logic estimates that around 461,000 people play the game on PC each day, with the average playtime of all Terraria<\/em> players being a whopping 101 hours and 18 minutes.<\/p>\n Re-Logic also revealed that its modding community is bigger than the player base of many other games. The open-source tModLoader<\/em>, which enables modding, has been downloaded 12.3 million times on Steam, and around 237,000 people play Terraria <\/em>with mods every day. That’s a little over half its current daily player count. <\/p>\n While Terraria <\/em>may be a fairly unassuming game on the surface, these impressive sales numbers rival industry juggernauts. It has outsold games like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em>, Animal Crossing: New Horizons<\/em>, and Pok\u00e9mon Red & Blue<\/em>, and only slightly trails behind Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/em>. It’s not the most popular survival game ever, though, as that honor still goes to Minecraft<\/em>. Perhaps that’s why it’s a bit shocking to learn just how popular Terraria <\/em>is. <\/p>\n Other exciting announcements for the game were also made on its anniversary. In terms of imminent updates, Re-Logic says players can expect Update 1.4.6 to add cross-play soon, while more content updates are planned beyond that.<\/p>\n A special physical collector’s edition is planned for the anniversary and will be fully revealed in June. Finally, Re-Logic worked with Lost In Cult to create a book about the game’s development, titled Terraria: Design Works<\/em>. It will be available for pre-order at 1 p.m. EST on May 28. <\/p>\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/chorus\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/23213271\/Terraria_2021_04_14_16_07_14.png?q=70&fit=crop&w=825&dpr=1\")
