Jagex’s evergreen fantasy MMORPG Runescape has implemented cross-platform play for the first time in its 20-year history after launching on mobile platforms.
The free-to-play title was officially rolled out on iOS and Android devices yesterday, and that mobile expansion brought new features including full cross-platform play and progression — allowing players to jump from PC to mobile in a snap without losing any progress.
Jagex revealed Runescape amassed 1.8 million pre-registrations on mobile ahead of launch, with studio chief exec Phil Mansell claiming the move displays a commitment “to the continued growth of both [Runescape and Old School Runescape] as multi-platform living games.
Despite being over two decades old, Runescape continues to prosper.
