The Console version of Terraria is published by 505 Games and developed by DR Studios. It is a port of the 
Desktop version, which is developed by Re-Logic.
The console version is currently available natively on 6 different console systems (3 of which run on Old-gen consoles, which run on the original engine built in XNA.) The game was released on the Nintendo Switch on June 27, 2019.[1] It is also playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility.
The Nintendo 
version is considered separate on this wiki, and has its own page and its own history. It will not receive any significant updates past its current Desktop 1.2.1 equivalent.[2]
Due to hardware requirement issues and memory constraints, Xbox 360, PS3, PS Vita, and the Wii U, are considered Old-gen platforms and thus will no longer receive significant updates past the 1.2.4.1 Desktop equivalent (see 
Old-gen console version).[3][4][5]

Trivia[]
- Prior to 1.3, the console version was developed by Engine Software. Development was then handled by Pipeworks Studios until the release of 1.4, in which DR Studios took over development.
- Due to unknown reasons, the
Xbox One platform unintentionally received the Console 1.0.1372.5 update about 48 hours prior to the official release on the platform.[8]
