Terraria: over 20 million units sold worldwide (all versions)
Before releasing on Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, Terraria was first released on PC in 2011. The game has come a long way since then, with many updates, and several million units sold… over 20 millions, to be precise! A pretty impressive milestone that was reached at the end of 2016, and takes into account sales on all platforms (including the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS).
The developers shared a message on the official forums, in order to thank fans for this milestone. After all, Terraria is a game that has been thriving thanks to a strong community, especially on PC.
