Terraria 1.4.5 Surges to New Heights with Over 160,000 Players Discovering Its Latest Minecraft-Inspired World Seed After 5 Years

Terraria’s highly anticipated 1.4.5 update has finally dropped, and it’s loaded with content—so much so that the beloved sandbox game has reached its second-highest player peak ever.

According to SteamDB, Terraria’s all-time peak occurred in 2020 with the release of update 1.4, Journey’s End, when 489,886 players jumped in to explore what many believed would be the game’s final major update. Now, with the arrival of 1.4.5—an update three years in the making—that five-year record could be in jeopardy. Currently, the 24-hour peak stands at 164,067 players, marking the game’s second-best performance.

And there’s potential for that number to climb even higher. While it may not surpass the previous high of nearly 500,000, this achievement is significant, especially considering the wealth of content that update 1.4.5, humorously dubbed “Bigger & Boulder,” brings. Among the highlights are two exciting crossovers: one with the indie roguelike Dead Cells and another with Palworld.

But the crossover content is just the tip of the iceberg. For fans of Minecraft, there’s a brand-new world seed to explore: Skyblock. This floating world challenges players to survive with limited resources while navigating the peril of falling to their doom, reminiscent of the classic Minecraft concept.

There’s even more to discover, from vampirism and new transformations to an RC car! For those who love decorating, new blocks and furniture items have been added, including the stunning Aetherium set, Gothic collection, and the eerie Corruption and Crimson furnishings. If you’re not among the nearly 165,000 players diving into 1.4.5, now’s the time to join in—I know I’m eager to jump back in.

Here’s to a new chapter in Terraria, welcoming both newcomers and returning veterans alike—one that truly embodies the Bigger & Boulder spirit that Re-Logic has captured. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have blocks to mine and summons to prepare.
