Console version

Console-Only Content: This information applies only to the Console version of Terraria.

For the console version history, see Console Version history.

The Console version of Terraria is published by 505 Games. It is a port of the  Desktop version (developed by Re-Logic) ported to Unity by Pipeworks. From 1.4 onwards, however, DR Studios has taken over its development

The console version is currently available 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.

The 3DS 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.

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).

Console	Date of Last Update	Current Version	Desktop Equivalent
	Aug 13, 2020	1.21	1.3.5.3
Xbox One	Aug 13, 2020	1.21	1.3.5.3
Nintendo Switch	Sep 10, 2020	1.0.1168.9	1.3.5.3
