There was a situation earlier this year that made everyone question whether the Google Stadia version ofTerrariaÂwould ever see the light of day. Now, theÂTerrariaÂStadia port is officially on its way.
After much turmoil and discussion, it seems likeÂTerrariaÂfinally got the all-clear to launch on Google Stadia. However, there’s still quite some history between Google and developer Re-Logic. Here’s everything you need to know aboutÂTerrariaÂcoming to Google Stadia.
TerrariaPort Release Date
Today, the official Google Stadia Twitter account finally announced thatÂTerrariaÂwould be launching on the service on March 18. This date has been moved around quite a bit due to the development issues (read below) but now it’s official.
Development Issues
On February 8 of this year,ÂTerrariaÂcreator Andrew Spinks publically announced that the game’s Stadia port was canceled. This came as a result of his Google account being disabled for several weeks with no warning, help, or solutions.He stated in a Twitter threadthat he “lost access to thousands of dollars of apps on@GooglePlay. I had just bought LOTR 4K and can’t finish it. My@googledrivedata is completely gone. I can’t access my@YouTubechannel. The worst of all is losing access to my@gmailaddress of over 15 years.”
The final two tweets in the thread speak for themselves:
TheÂStadia port was brought back to life later in February after the team got their passwords and content back. As stated in theFebruary State of the Game Update,
“After a month of pushing (and with the immense support of our fans), Google finally reached out and was able to provide a lot of transparency around the situation and to restore access to all of our accounts. Due to the hard work the Stadia team has put in - as well as our partners at 505 Games - we have decided that we will allow the upcoming launchTerrariaon Google Stadia to proceed.”
