Terraria continues to grow after nearly 15 years. Developer Re-Logic released update 1.4.5 on January 27, 2026, delivering the most extensive content addition since September 2022’s Labor of Love patch. The update adds new weapons, enemies, boss music, NPC portraits, and animal transformation abilities to the cult sandbox game.
Fans waited three years for the “Bigger & Boulder” update, which grew larger as development continued. The patch includes crossplay functionality planned for a later release, enabling players across platforms to adventure together. The update also features collaboration content from indie hits Dead Cells and Palworld, expanding the game’s already massive item collection.

Developer Re-Logic described this update as balancing meaningful additions with extensive polish, addressing years of community feedback. While presented as potentially the final major update, the studio has continued development beyond similar statements in the past. Crossplay functionality is planned for a future release, enabling players across all platforms to adventure together.
Terraria launched as a $10 title in May 2011 and rapidly became one of the best-selling indie games. The game sold over 60 million copies worldwide with more than 1 million Steam reviews maintaining a 97% positive rating. Compared to Minecraft, Terraria is 2D and significantly more combat-heavy, featuring over 6,000 items after this update. Re-Logic can afford to continue working on new content more than a decade after launch due to this sustained commercial success.
The update was released on January 27, 2026, after three years of development. The complete changelog was published alongside the release on the official Terraria forums. This update expanded the game with over 650 new items, bringing the total item count to over 6,000.
Re-Logic plans to add crossplay functionality at a later date. The 2D sandbox game approaches its 15th anniversary in May 2026, having launched on Steam on May 16, 2011. The update includes collaboration content from Dead Cells and Palworld, new transformation abilities, smart crafting systems, and quality-of-life improvements that were covered in the update details.
