Terraria is finally making its way as a Nintendo Switch game with a release date unexpectedly set for June 27 - that's tomorrow!

A Terraria forum post announcing the date said that the initial release will be digital only, but that a physical retail version would eventually follow. Developer Re-Logic explained that "since the game is ready, we figured we would just get it into your hands as soon as possible."

Terraria Price and Release

While Terraria is $10 as a PC game and $20 as a PS4 game and an Xbox One game, it sounds like it might cost $30 on Switch - that would line up with the same price it has as a Wii U game, while is still $20 as a 3DS game. The console versions of Terraria have slightly different content from the PC version and are generally a few updates behind, but they are fairly similar for the most part.

We gave Terraria a 9 in our intial 2011 review, and the 2D crafting-adventure game has only grown bigger and better since then thanks to a constant flow of free updates. However, it was announced at E3 2019 that the upcoming Journey's End update later this year might be its last.
