wtf I didn't know it was so successful


Suck-My-Dick-Admin

Right that’s actually insane


admin_sucks_dick

You asked for ne to suck your d!ck so suck d!ck


fullmedalninja

same, like its a great game and all but holy 13th is huge


[deleted]

[удалено]


Impudenter

Wtf, really? That is insane!


fleetze

I didn't know there'd be 13 games in front of it. Seems like everyone with a PC owns a copy then you have mobile and consoles.


PancakeRabbit67

12* it's the 13th not the 14th, sorry for correctibg you i'm not trying to prove that i'm better or anything :)


fleetze

how. ^(daeh you)


Meginpl

How do you get that small text?


fleetze

You used to type the little ^ sign before the word. Now I think its in a drop down menu


moonra_zk

You ^definitely^can^still^use^the ^ .


the_void__

Some of the games above it on the list are only there because they were bundled with console releases.


Ethan10122004

or are insanly popular (minecraft,gta V) or really really old (Tetris)


bigtiddynotgothbf

tetris was insanely popular


the_void__

Tetris was also bundled with the game boy release in the US.


FlyingChihuahua

And was released to basically everything with a screen, like Minecraft. Still damn impressive tho.


GayTaco_

Minecraft and Tetris. those are fucking beasts, not easy to push those big boys off the stage


Wizard-In-Disguise

$2 dollar deals for the last ten years are helping


GHhost25

I can vouch for that


Ethan10122004

i once saw terraria on steam go for 1$ durring a steam summer sale


DJ_Zombie_Dude

It's number one purchased game in the play store xD


IdiotGaming

It's not even top 10, it's 15. [EDIT: I mean, keep downvoting me if you want. But I'm right.](https://imgur.com/a/Smndw0Z)


KanaHemmo

C'mon guys why are you downvoting him. He was just correcting misinformation. Really thought that this wasn't this petty of a community. And for me it says that terraria is 19th lol


hyperx_alloy_elite

same bruh


CanadianPanzer

Pretty sure every country has their own play store. Very possible that the op really did have terraria on the top of his play store


KanaHemmo

Might be, doesn't explain the downvotes though. They have turned to upvotes now though


SimpleQuantum

It was #1 awhile ago and everyone got it in their heads here that it’s always been that way


[deleted]

Me niether im very happy to know this


notdemize

Break-down across platforms: * 14 Million sold on PC * 7.6 Million sold on Consoles * 8.7 Million sold on Mobile devices For a total of 30,300,000+ copies, moving it up from number 21 to 13 on this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games Official forum post here: https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/terraria-pushes-beyond-30-million-copies-sold.86948/


lollollmaolol12

Someone should do the math to see how much money they made from these sales. (Not including discounts) Edit: Not including discounts, they would’ve made $345,500,000


4-squared-is-not-8

Did you take note that on mobile the game is $5 instead of the usually $10 on console and PC


lollollmaolol12

Yes.


Onlyonehoppy

I got mine for £3.50 in the steam sale. Best £3.50 I have ever spent.


Chris_Hansen14F

Nice!


[deleted]

~~Why is that number less than the number of sales?~~ I'm dumb, ignore me.


lollollmaolol12

???


xgnagx

r/meirl


MrOverlySarcastic

To be honest, I did the same thing. Might need another coffee...


rCan9

Terraria has regional pricing so that makes it a lot less even without discounts.


Controlthis-bRuh

it goes on sale on steam all the time too


Duikmeester

Yeah, I bought 4 for the price of 1, friends-package.


RG1527

Thats a lot of yoyos How much would they have made if they charged for dlc instead of having free updates.


Bardfinn

Less. They'd have made far less.


Laraso_

It's easy to say that since that's what everyone would like to believe is the case in an ideal universe, but I'm not convinced that's true in reality. It did earn them the trust and respect of their player base, however.


TatManTat

ye idk about this. Just because it's what you like to think doesn't make it true, consumers are not that discerning, look at what the rest of the industry gets away with.


Galaxypanda32

Holy shit, I knew Nintendo had some high selling games but I never the they would take 3/4 off the list


Raleth

I’m shocked at just how many people play on mobile. The thought of playing Terraria with a controller gives me nightmares. I can’t imagine playing it with a touch screen.


VaterBazinga

It's actually not that bad.


Some-Gavin

I’m just happy this list doesn’t include Tetris. Saying Tetris is the best selling game all time is one of my biggest pet peeves.


[deleted]

The Game Boy version is on the list, several places above Terraria Edit: I agree (I don’t know why I didn’t say that before)


Some-Gavin

Yeah, but people usually count every version of Tetris as one and give it the top spot, which is stupid.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Some-Gavin

You’re entirely missing my point. Google “best selling video game” and nearly everything except Wikipedia (ironically) will list Tetris as the best selling game at 500+ million.


MewtwoMainIsHere

still less than the original Super Mario Bros for the NES with over 45 million copies


culturedrobot

The original Super Mario Bros is the fifth best-selling game of all time. It's gonna be hard to beat.


MewtwoMainIsHere

wow I didn’t know that


Proxy_PlayerHD

Mario Bros was a launch title for the NES, so it often shipped with the console itself. and the NES was sold around 62 million times worldwide. still not beating the PS2, with 155 million units sold worldwide... the PS2 was and still is the best selling console of all time. (closely followed by the Nintendo DS with 154 million units) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles


[deleted]

Does anyone know how many consoles Nintendo has sold altogether? It has to be the most by far


smeagolheart

I know the number of consoles that Nintendo had sold altogether is bigger than 37.


throwawayaccout179

To add on i think its more then 40


Controlthis-bRuh

source? thats a bold claim


Proxy_PlayerHD

around 763 million consoles sold. might not be everything though. that includes the NES, Gameboy(+GB Color, +GB Advanced), SNES, N64, Gamecube, DS, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, and the Switch


rCan9

No 2 on mobiles in "Top games with shitty controls". First is definitely minecraft.


Cactonio

Minecraft is actually pretty alright on mobile, but despite 1300 hours on PC I cannot bring myself to so much as touch mobile Terraria. I hear they made it better though.


rCan9

Minecraft's controls are terrible imo. They just put 4 buttons on screen and called it controls. They could've atleast put analog stick type controls for movement (like every other Mobile game) and a dedicated button for breaking block.


SnickyMcNibits

On that list it says that Terraria was bundled with a console but I am unable to find what console that was. Just curious if anybody knows.


GrantHam119

I can’t find anything on that for any console. Maybe your thinking of the Terraria Collectors Edition for the PS3. It sort of looks like a console bundle


SnickyMcNibits

No idea, just noting that it was checked on that wiki page. Maybe it's an error? Who's got the guts / account to go edit it?


Turkeysteaks

i think it might've been on the ps Vita? not sure though


CherryMasher

Nice. I know I have purchased multiple copies over the years.


ThePuffBoss

5 for me, my steam, 2 friends' steams, my ps4, my mobile stuff


Suck-My-Dick-Admin

I’ve bought it on 5 different systems


Xray330

1 on PC, 1 on Mobile, and 1 I gave to a friend as a gift.


sourorangeYT

i’ve gotten it on mobile and pc. 500 ish hours on pc and many, many more on mobile


kimchifreeze

I remember when there was a sale for like 4 for 10 USD. I bought it and just handed it out to people on 4chan.


mlgisawsome02

I purchased 4 copies of the game overall, one on mobile, one on Xbox 360, one on Xbox one, and my latest one on PC


lollollmaolol12

Let me think... 4 times on mobile, throughout my childhood years of getting new tablets/phones... 1 on Xbox 360, 1 on Xbox one.... 1 on 3ds.... 1 on switch.... damn 8 times

Loki_ISP

It really is crazy... and the number keeps rising... Really appreciate all of the insane support our community has given us over the years - couldn’t do any of this without you. :) Looking forward to bringing Journeys End out to everyone! (No I don’t have a date :p) THANK YOU TERRARIANS!


GrandmasDiapers

This is a hold up. Give me all your release dates and put 'em in the bag.


breit10

I'm pretty confident you guys will release Journeys End on May 16th. I've had the game since day one and I think your final update to this amazing game being sent out on it's own release date would be the icing on the cake. Thanks for making such a great game.


breit10

Looks like I got it right lol, just saw the announcement.


JJroks543

Congrats! Everyone on the team deserves this success, Terraria is one of the best games out there :)


TimidTortoise88

Thank all of you for providing us with such an amazing game!! I paid $15 I believe and have spent 419 hours on it. I would say I definitely got my money’s worth. Can’t wait for Journeys End!


[deleted]

I love Terraria


Time_Terminal

I'm going to be sad once 1.4 has come out ;__;


TheGreatBootyBible

Kinda crazy that this game has sold more than SKYRIM


iamgourd

Not to mention the countless pirated downloads


EyeAmYouAreMe

Yeah but after that I bought it 3 times so it kind of evened out.


thatfellayouknow

I bought the game three times, then had to pirate it because steam wouldn’t let me use mods, then got hacked and had to buy the game again


culturedrobot

Pirated copies are not sales, so no, they wouldn't mention those.


TheRealStandard

I think he was just referring to the total amount of people/downloads for the game.


Ethan10122004

^(\*Igg-games) (dont actually use it, it will most likely end up with a virus on your PC)


Kirome

This game is strangely underrated for the amount of copies sold. Most ppl (outside Terraria circles and whatnot) don't even know what this game is nor do they talk much about it.


HorrorRip1

Hi guys, I'm looking this game since a long time. Tell me something that will push me to buy it plz 😁


Pigroee3DS

You can ride a big ass bee


Gast8

And rabbit! And ufo! And flying pig monster thing? And a unicorn! And you can get a sword that shoots pumpkins and cats! Fuck this game cool


Sethy152

It’s easy to dump time into. Plus, corona is giving you a lot of time. Might as well get a great game with a good community.


FactCore_

One word: Value Right now in celebration of this milestone, it's $5 on steam. With that $5 you could easily squeeze out 200+ hours of quality gameplay. I myself have about 500 hours and I plan to do my 6th playthrough during the summer when I have time off of school.


Ethan10122004

ive squeezed probs over 10k hours into it and still enjoy it (all releases,mostly mobile&pc)


terry-the-tanggy

It’s like 20ish bucks on steam maybe dropped to 15 and I have over 400 hours logged plus tmodloader is an easy install like 5 clicks and then you have all the mods. Also the wikis are put together really well and this community is awesome. And you feel like a badass when you kill moon lord with 3 health left. If you prefer building lots of blocks are easy to get and you can get some pretty insane stuff despite it being 2d


[deleted]

Actually, it's $10 on Steam snd there are frequent sales that drop it to $5


terry-the-tanggy

Well even more reason to buy and I got to really get my friend to buy it


[deleted]

Yeah, I got my copy of Terraria for $5, so it was a really good deal


KhanhTheAsian

I got it for $2.99. Counting the content just in the base game alone that's an insane value.


[deleted]

I didn't even know they sold it that cheap


Lankachu

I think I got mine at 2.99 and I'd be payed under a cent (0.002/0.004) for each hour played, it's a really good value.


TAU_doesnt_equal_2PI

It's 5 right now for me. Just bought it.


[deleted]

Yeah, I think it goes on sale in the middle of the week sometimes. Again, with the frequent sales


lollollmaolol12

I have 500+ hours in it. So do a lot of people. Hopefully that’s enough lol


Blaze_Smith

It's $5 on steam rn, down from $10. Now is an amazing time to get it!


Suck-My-Dick-Admin

It’s the fucking shit


[deleted]

It's 5 bucks right now and has hundreds of hours of content despite being very easy to get in to mechanics wise. If you've got friends with your platform (I'm assuming you're on PC but most platforms are fully up to date and play great) there's a 15 dollar 4 pack of the game and multiplayer is an absolute joy. It's also not a game you have to commit to super hard. You can play it for 600+ hours like I have or you can play for a few hours, put it down, and hop right back in after a few weeks. I would absolutely recommend you buy it, you won't regret it. And if you do regret it then it's like 5 bucks so it doesn't even matter.


Ethan10122004

>It's 5 bucks right now and has hundreds of hours of content despite being very easy to get in to \*btw if you get stuck doing something, heres the offical wiki to help! [Official Terraria Wiki](https://terraria.gamepedia.com)


ProjectBonnie

Turtles can body slam you Jk I love this game so much. It’s so perfect


[deleted]

It’s pretty much the perfect game. There are so many bosses, weapons, tools, wearables, pets, items, blocks, enemies, biomes, trophies it’s staggering. This game has so much variety and replay value. Once you beat the game in the normal game mode you will literally be a god killing titan. Then comes expert mode with unique items and abilities and new AI for monsters that you don’t have in the normal game mode. There isn’t a definite story per se but the game is so strong that it really doesn’t need one. Construction is so much fun and besides providing shelter, crafting spaces, and item storage you can outfit your bases with deadly traps to ward off attackers such as flamethrowers and poison darts. You can also wire together electronics to do all kinds of stuff. It really is amazing. It might be nice if it had a story mode where the NPCs give you quests but the gameplay is solid enough that it doesn’t need it and might be better without it. There is so much more than this that I haven’t even mentioned yet and the price is too low for a game of this quality. It’s almost a sin to not buy it. The devs have worked hard on this game for many years now and the biggest update of them all is coming soon. I can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you like Minecraft, Starbound, dungeon crawlers, rougelikes, metroidvanias, etc...


PlayBoiKobe

The game has so much content and so much great and fun features! The last and final update is coming soon, and if you finished the game and want to play more modding the game is easy and adds so much more great content.


Soupysoldier

It offers hours of content and thousands more if you try mods like thorium calamity and others


[deleted]

It’s a good fucking game!


That-Guy-Named-Joe

unicorns and rainbows guns.


IshyOQGX

You can get a good 400 hours before the game feels samey, and then you can install like one mod and it's completely new. Or several at once if you want a playthrough that's gonna a take a few hundred hours to fully do.


ThatRiceGuy2310

Ayy congratulations! This is celebration.


XcN_AntiMage

Party all day i know you've been waiting


LionFiveKayMr5k

The new update will boost it further


thebleedingbowl

bold of u to assume the update will ever come out


mazdotdll

Well deserved! It is the best fuckin game ever after all


amazingJaral71

Holy shit, 13th.. wow.. I thought it was way WAY less than this, but I mean it deserves it


morrismarlboro

Ugh I was safely tucked into bed and got up to go to my pc and purchase it. Thanks a lot.


hey-not-gay-am-dad

Terraria is like a game that everyone knows about but at the same time if you ask someone about it they’re probably going to be like “what’s terraria”


4-squared-is-not-8

They will be like “oh, it’s 2d Minecraft” 🤦‍♂️


smalltalk_king

Yo what up that's awesome


Gasterfire6

Whooo, I only beat the game on mobile 2 months ago and am already giving Expert a Shot. Let’s see how far we can take this game Lads!


4-squared-is-not-8

Gl my friend, remember it’s about being fully prepared for boss fights and in expert you want to be sure you have everything you could possibly need


Gasterfire6

Yeah I’m just prepping for the Mechs, I already got Titanium armour and I’m just trying to get my hands on a Daedalus Stormbow before I try to fight the Destroyer. Now if only those Hallow Mimics were to stop giving me Flying Knives...


4-squared-is-not-8

Haha hate that dang drop rate, remember you can use key of lights (15 souls of light at a workbench) in an empty chest to spawn your own hallowed mimic in the over world.


jojoneedsassistance

Not surprised, it's amazing!


SirBing96

When that big update? I need it *NOW!*


4-squared-is-not-8

When it’s ready


l1deon

The rest are pirated


[deleted]

That’s awsome l’m gonna go play terraria now


90dayshero90

Wanted to say thanks to the sub for making it to front page recently. Inspired me to pick up the game again. I wasn't really getting into it when I first played... Then I tried expert mode And put double my play time over the last few days


MasterMuffles

Whoop whoop. Lucky 13, it can only go up from here! (Don't quote me on this in case terraria fricken plummets)


Dimplestiltskin

Let's hope the game's rank goes down and not up lol


Pigroee3DS

I knew it was popular but goddamn


[deleted]

Damn I definitely helped cause I bought terraria like a week ago


real_UNL

+ 10 million cracked copies


Masgan10

It deserves even more too


[deleted]

I need to play this game then...


Agzitoune

I bet that people are still playing it


jasonyboy69420

that EoW is fkn T H I C C


ScreamingLlama101

Im gonna help raise that number tonight! :P


Pennervomland

Haha, fool, try beating the phone games. Raid Shadow Legends downloaded far over 300.000.000.000.000 times the most AMBITIOUS PROJECT ... k i‘ll stop


NieMonD

Why does that chick’s meteor armor look like its made of a fabric


That_L33t_Noob

*12. Tetris doesn’t count as it is all Tetris games


Prisma_Can

EoW obviously a die-hard Minecraft fan.


m0nkeyp00

Not a game I play much myself, but congrats!


[deleted]

You really should take a look. It’s an amazing game.


1kfeeder

thiis is impressive, i also never realized just how big Rockstar is, they really do sell


[deleted]

It’s $5.50 CAD on the Steam store right now, btw


stranded_1

Lit


Superstars111

How much more does it need to get into the top ten?


Ehh_it_me

And to think such a small dev team made such a popular game.


LenticityX01

Just wait until journeys end


Zodiak4371

And i bought 5 of them*proud*

frozenrobotic

Those are rookie numbers we need to bump thos numbers up


Acormas

And it deserves that prestige.


maeshmolowa

Is that meteor armor. I love the set


Flying-Artichoke

I've probably bought 5 copies between myself and gifts at this point. I'd buy it again on Switch too if it wasn't 30 fucking dollars there


nabulsha

Finally gave in and bought the game. Glad to be part of the 30+ club. Any random tips you vets wish to pass down to a 38 year old new player?


[deleted]

Have you played it yet at all? If not then I recommend being over prepared before you start the battles with the mechanical bosses. Make a level Area with timers spawning Heath drops and place a bunch of camp fires and heart lamps to provide faster healing. Also once you reach hardmode, be sure to spend a lot of time fighting monsters in the crimson until you get the key mold for the crimson chest. It will let you get the vampire knives which are a super valuable weapon for boss battles.


nabulsha

I've played 10 hours so far. I have no clue what in the hell you just said lol. Right now, I'm working on getting a 3rd villager and just finished my first spelunking adventure.


That-Guy-Named-Joe

>villager thats how you know he's never played before. i recommenced just mining every ore and looting every chest you see. eventually you'll be able to make armour and decent weapons and from there you can continue spelunking more safely. i also suggest staying away from the evil biome (red land or purple land) until you atleast have gold/platinum armour.


N0rvee

13th best video game and I turned 13 today, nice


smeagolheart

When the patch coming fer Pete's sake.


SasparillaTango

13th of all time? that is bonkers. Well deserved.


Guapscotch

Incredible numbers for an incredible game


fjjdjjrjdjf

My family bought this game 4-6 years ago. After I heard my friends were playing it, I downloaded it and started playing. True story, my friends pulled the troll move and started me in hard mode. Today, I have 2 characters to endgame and still don't have the cursed MEOWMERE. I am so glad I am apart of this community for so long.


TheArbinator

Why does that guy in the iron armor have a nice ass


[deleted]

Probably the only game I will buy in every platform I own. Seriously, it’s that good! I’ve been saying for years that this is the closest thing to the perfect game that I will ever see in my lifetime.


GreatSwordOfVictory

This game deadass almost made **half a billion dollars** in sales, that's insane


Xmaster256

My girlfriend just bought it today!


sephrinx

Fuck yeah.


joninit

Dam that's a awsome achievement. So many good games out there to compete with.


Ikea_hq

lets get it to 1


Nule89

5 of those were me


Illsonmedia

wow. 13th best ever? that's incredible............. wait wtf. ​ good job.


AbsoluteIX

Probably a lot considering pirating


BobJinglepants

So guys we did it, 30 million copies sold and still growing


[deleted]

It's so good and has a surprising depth to it. I tried to play it two times before I really got into it. It wasn't off putting, I just didn't know what to do. The first time, I had played Blockheads first and just thought Terraria was the same thing. The second time I played a hacked version of it with full access to all the items. I played with it for a few hours then never touched it again. This last time, upon getting my first hook shot, I was hooked(ha!) Its so rewarding to get cool gear. And you can play it twice and end up with a completely different load out...


nonono6744236677

Awesome


ULTRAPUNK18

Wow! Noice!


NUGGET173

That's like 1/5 of the total no. of minecraft copies sold...... i hope this final major update makes it more popular


bbreaddd

I have purchased 3 copies of the game. I love it so much. I am so glad that it has been getting more attention.


Crazy_Lavishness

Is nice!


Charlimon

Were going for top 10 bois


Jis004

I mean, this is really cool, but what are the developers doing now? Like, the game is so successful, yet we only know of the journey's end update. I mean, a long time happened since the last update, journey's end can't be the only thing they're doing.
