Terraria cover

Why Terraria is rated “Works”

The developers ship Terraria for Mac. When you install it through Sommelier, the Mac build goes in instead of the Windows one, so there is no Windows layer in between and nothing to translate while you play.

No anti-cheat is listed for the game, so nothing of that kind is known to block it.

Questions about Terraria on Mac

Do I need Windows to play Terraria on Mac?

No. Sommelier installs the Mac version of the game, so Windows is not involved at all.

Does online play work in Terraria on Mac?

No anti-cheat that blocks Macs is listed for Terraria, so nothing of that kind is known to stand in the way. Whether a given online feature works also depends on the game’s own servers.

It depends on how the developer built the Mac version. Sommelier checks that before you install and tells you.

Can I use a controller with Terraria on Mac?

Yes. macOS supports Xbox and DualSense controllers over Bluetooth or USB. Whether Terraria has full controller support is shown on its store page.
