- The update was released for consoles on December 12, 2017, and was released for mobile on August 27, 2019. In July 2016, 505 Games announced that Engine Software and Codeglue would no longer be working on the console and mobile versions respectively and that a new studio, Pipeworks, would take over the development of those versions.
Terraria is, perhaps, one of the best games ever created. And no, it is not a Minecraft rip-off. With a robust crafting system, unpredictable combat against the world’s enemies, and hours of content to experience, Terraria has earned its reputation as one of the most beloved games ever made. With Journey’s End dropping down as of this writing, some of the new players are confused if the massive update will occur on both PC and mobile (as well as consoles). If you feel confused about whether you want to play on PC or mobile or both, here are some differences in order for you to grasp a better understanding between the two.
Terraria Mobile 1.3 Post Release Development Updates iOS, Android, Amazon -. Neviskio's Patch Notes. The deve.
Updates are Not Synchronized
You might think Terraria on every platform is the same but they are actually not. PC always gets the updates first, followed by consoles and then mobile. The gap between the updates are around 6 months up to 18 months.
Controls and UI are Different (Duh)
This one is obvious but the set-up for the mobile version is more compact than the PC. You have less controls to utilize but Re-Logic was smart enough to implement convenient key mappings, especially when you are building (much like what the Stardew Valley mobile version was). Also, the UI is larger for the smaller screen on mobile. Also, I just want to tell you that Terraria’s mobile controls have one of the best-looking schemes ever in the platform.
I don’t even need to tell you how the controls work on PC since Terraria plays best on the master race platform.
When Will Console Get Terraria 1.4
Same Great Experience
The best part between the two Terraria versions is that the gameplay remains the same. Even on mobile, the game does not have a reduced number of enemies on screen, smaller world or even limited items. What you see and play on PC is the same on the mobile version – minus the latest updates, of course.

The post-release updates
Back in 2013, Re-Logic released their famous Minecraft-style action platformer title Terraria on iOS. Back then, this mobile port was a little bit behind the desktop version when it came to features and content. Still, it was a grand adventure that we all loved. After that, the game continues to receive numerous content updates, one of the most significant of which came out just a few months after the launch and added local multiplayer.
In 2014's August, we got another update adding the Hard Mode. There was also the big 1.2 update back in 2014 December. Then the update that came out in March 2016 significantly increased the game world's size. What is sketch. That is not to mention all those holiday-themes updates and those optimization/bug fixes updates.
1.3 version update
The game then stayed quiet for a couple of years afterward, until April this year, when it was revealed that Re-Logic and 505 games had brought DR Studios on to work on Terraria mobile and that the 1.3 update - which launched on PC back in 2015 - was finally coming to Terraria mobile as well. This update will bring lots of new content to the game as well as adding modern screen sizes support and improved touchscreen controls. With this update, it will become a 'total new game.'
While we don't know for sure the release date of this update yet, the beta version is kicking off already. Just last week, the developers dropped a bombshell saying that this update will also come with online multiplayer support for Terraria mobile. With that, you will able to play Terraria with your pals from anywhere with an Internet connection.
Online multiplayer
Inevitably, such big news came with numerous questions, and the developers have answered many of these questions on the official forum of Terraria. To summarize, the multiplayer function of Terraria mobile will work similarly as the PC non-steam version. That means if you want to play the game with your pals, you will need to manually connect to each other. One will become the host, while the others will join in by put in the IP port and address (and the optional password).

That is more complicated than how most online multiplayer games work, and sometime you must do some troubleshooting and tweaks such as changing port forwarding in the router settings. But Google is there to help you, and this method will also allow Android and iOS players to play together. The dev is also thinking about a service that allows you to rent a server to host your game (similar to Minecraft Realms).
Nothing is defined about the multiplayer of Terraria mobile yet. But one sure thing is that we will get to enjoy Terraria mobile with our pals online with the 1.3 version update, and I am really looking forward to it.
