Terraria crossplay: can console and mobile friends join?

Console Terraria has no field for a server address, so there is nothing for a console player to type and no setting that unlocks one. That is a Terraria rule, not something we control.

Re-Logic and DR Studios are building console crossplay in two phases:

• Phase One (1.4.6): console players can join dedicated servers over the internet, and join LAN sessions across platforms.

• Phase Two: players share a session ID or join code to play together on any platform and any network.

Phase One is the one that matters for you, since it is the phase that lets consoles reach a hosted server. Re-Logic has not given a release date, so we will not guess one.

Your server runs the official Terraria dedicated server build, and Haptic tracks each new one Re-Logic publishes; a Restart from the dashboard is what applies it. When the console crossplay release ships, that same restart is all it takes. There is no crossplay toggle to wait for and no need to rebuild your world.

In Terraria, players choose Multiplayer, then Join via IP, and enter the address and port from your server card (Terraria asks for the port on its own screen). The full walkthrough, plus the version rule and the tModLoader rule that turn players away more often than platform limits do, is in Terraria: can't join your server?.

• Mods. No mod runs on console Terraria, so a server-side mod cannot open a door that the console version does not have.

• Changing settings, region, or the server address. The limit is in the console game, not in your server.

• Switching hosts. Every Terraria dedicated server on the internet has the same restriction.

Reach us on Discord or at support@haptic.gg. Include your server name, the platform your friend is playing on, and the exact message they see when they try to join.
