489,886 Players: When Did Terraria Peak?
SteamDB puts the all-time peak at 489,886 concurrent players on May 16, 2020. SteamDB marks Update 1.4, Journey’s End, on that same date.
Steam Charts lists a lower all-time peak of 486,918 for May 2020. The two trackers publish different figures, so each is quoted with its name.
| Month | Average players | Peak players |
|---|---|---|
| May 2020 | 129,808.62 | 486,918 |
| February 2026 | 102,250.08 | 226,559 |
| June 2020 | 75,803.88 | 157,919 |
| July 2015 | 72,132.59 | 149,316 |

SteamDB marks Update 1.3 on June 30, 2015, the day before the July 2015 row. Steam tracks Valheim’s concurrent player history the same way, by app and by month.
Terraria Player Count vs tModLoader: Steam’s Split Modded Base
tModLoader, the free tool that runs Terraria mods, is a separate Steam app (1281930). Its players never appear in Terraria’s own count.
tModLoader averaged more concurrent players than Terraria in November 2025, at 25,631.28 against 22,254.18. December 2025 followed the same pattern: 27,071.32 against 25,806.97.
By October 2026, Terraria averaged 31,420.53 and tModLoader 19,657.70. Newer survival-crafting games such as Palworld run as one Steam app, so this split is unusual.
| Steam app | App ID | All-time peak players | Peak month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terraria | 105600 | 486,918 | May 2020 |
| tModLoader | 1281930 | 78,825 | February 2026 |

Re-Logic reported 12.3 million tModLoader downloads on Steam in May 2026.

How Many People Play Terraria Daily on PC?
Re-Logic’s 15th anniversary post put average daily PC players at about 461,000 for the year before May 16, 2026. GamingOnLinux reported the figure from that post.
Daily players count everyone who launched the game that day. Concurrent players count only those online at one moment, so daily totals run far higher.
Re-Logic also listed a 1.4 million peak for that year. KitGuru described it as a single-day figure, while Inven Global called it concurrent, so it is not compared with Steam data here.
Average playtime on PC stood at 101 hours, 18 minutes, per the same post.

70 Million Copies Across PC, Mobile and Console
| Platform | Copies sold (millions) |

| PC | 39.6 |
| Mobile | 19.7 |
| Console | 10.7 |
| Total | 70 |

Copies sold measure purchases, not active players. Re-Logic has not published concurrent counts for console or mobile.
Crossplay could change how those groups meet. Re-Logic wrote on October 29, 2026 that it was putting the finishing touches on Crossplay Phase One, with Phase Two plans under way.

Who Plays Terraria? Ratings, Reviews and Twitch
Re-Logic has not published age, gender or country data for Terraria players. Steam publishes no country split for the game either, so no verified North America or Europe player count exists.
The ESRB rates the Nintendo Switch version T for Teen, citing Alcohol Reference, Blood and Gore, Cartoon Violence and Mild Suggestive Themes. Parents weighing it against Minecraft’s player base can use that rating as a guide.

SteamDB lists 1,568,273 Steam reviews: 1,527,008 positive (97.4%) and 41,265 negative (2.6%). The store page had 968,602 followers on the same date.

Twitch records conflict. Streams Charts lists an all-time peak of 270.2K viewers on February 12, 2021, while SteamDB lists 265,172.
Re-Logic said in May 2026 that player support lets it keep updating without price increases or microtransactions. Fans of Stardew Valley’s player numbers will recognize that one-time-purchase model.
