Terraria+ is heading to Apple Arcade, giving subscribers a version of the sandbox action-adventure with no ads and no in-app purchases. It lands on the same day as the rest of the service’s monthly refresh, already carrying the latest 1.4.5 build and its crossover content.
Quick answer: Terraria+ joins the Apple Arcade catalog on October 1, 2026. There is no separate cost beyond the $6.99/month subscription — open the Arcade tab and download it once it appears.
Terraria+ release date on Apple Arcade
The game arrives on Thursday, October 1, 2026, as part of Apple Arcade’s regular monthly batch of additions. Apple’s Arcade app will confirm the exact rollout time on the day itself, so treat October 1 as the arrival date rather than a fixed clock time.
Terraria+ is developed by 505 Games. It carries the “+” label, which marks it as an existing App Store title reworked into an Arcade version that strips out advertising and paid in-game purchases while keeping the full game intact.
How to get Terraria+ through Apple Arcade
Access comes entirely through the Apple Arcade subscription. There is no individual purchase for Terraria+ and no in-app charge tied to it.
- Apple Arcade costs $6.99 per month in the US, with a one-month free trial for new subscribers.
- It is also included in the Apple One Individual, Family, and Premier bundles.
- A single subscription unlocks the full catalog of more than 200 games.
As an App Store favorite rather than an Arcade Original, Terraria+ can be played on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro. If you already subscribe, you do not need to do anything except open the Arcade tab on October 1 and download it.
What the 1.4.5 Bigger & Boulder update adds
Terraria+ launches on Arcade fully updated to version 1.4.5, titled Bigger & Boulder. The headline additions are crossover content pulled from two other games, plus a range of new items and world options.
| Addition | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dead Cells crossover | Themed content drawn from the Dead Cells property |
| Palworld crossover | Iconic Pals from Palworld |
| New gear and objects | Furniture sets, mounts, weapons, boulders, critters |
| New world type | A Skyblock world seed |
The core game remains a 2D sandbox built around exploration, mining, crafting, building, and combat in procedurally generated worlds. There are more than 5,000 items, over 25 NPCs, and more than 400 enemies to discover as you unlock better equipment and take on the game’s bosses.
Multiplayer and mobile features
The mobile build supports co-op play for up to seven friends, connected through Game Center or over local Wi-Fi. It also carries the options long-time players expect on touchscreens.
- Customizable on-screen controls
- Selectable world sizes
- More than 20 biomes to explore
How to confirm Terraria+ is live for you
On October 1, open the Arcade tab in the App Store and look for Terraria+ in the catalog. You will know it is available when the listing shows a download button with no price and no in-app purchase warnings, and the game reports version 1.4.5 with the Bigger & Boulder content once installed.
If Terraria+ does not appear right away, update the Arcade app and check again later in the day, since the exact rollout time is set inside the Arcade app rather than announced in advance.
For anyone who does not subscribe, Terraria remains available separately on iOS and Android, so the Arcade version is an option rather than the only way to play. But for existing subscribers, it slots into the monthly lineup at no extra charge, ready to sink hundreds of hours into once the calendar flips to October.
