The iconic MMO RuneScape has been exclusively available to play via the RuneScape website but this October all that will change as RuneScape will release on Steam. The PC and Mac editions of this MMO will arrive on 14th October while the classic Old School Runescape will see a Steam release in early 2021.
The Steam edition of Runescape will offer a series of special membership packages and achievements for players and there will be a dedicated support team that will run a Runescape Community Hub specifically for Steam players where they will share news such as weekly announcements, guides, articles, artwork and videos.
“Jagex is on a mission to bring the Runescape universe to more players globally. Following our games’ arrival on mobile stores, we are now expanding the availability of the desktop versions. Making them accessible to the Steam community is an important step in achieving this goal. We’re excited to see Runescape debut on Steam from October 14th and look forward to Old School Runescape’s arrival next year, as we enable even more gamers to access and explore our rich and engaging living game worlds.” – Phil Mansell, Jagex CEO.
Nearly 285 million players have enjoyed the franchise over the years so be sure to add Runescape to your Wishlist now on Steam.
