Jagex: The RuneScape Company has launched open-world survival and crafting game, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, on PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and XBOX Series X|S. The release of RuneScape: Dragonwilds marks the first time a RuneScape title has launched on any console platform in its 25-year history. The game sold more than 1.5M copies during its 18-month period in Steam Early Access, and introduced players to Gielinor’s previously mysterious, unexplored continent of Ashenfall.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds is also available from today across XBOX Game Pass (Premium, Ultimate and PC Game Pass tiers), and on PlayStation Plus (Extra and Premium tiers) for PlayStation 5.
According to a press release, RuneScape: Dragonwilds provides a completely separate experience from the celebrated RuneScape MMORPG, challenging players – solo or in a team of up to three other players – to adventure across Ashenfall’s various biomes and regions. As they encounter more of the anima-rich landscape, a wild and transformative magic found across Ashenfall, players will be able to wield powerful spells in combat and use magic to gather resources, craft gear and shelters, and aid their journey.
The game has regularly been expanded through new content launches throughout its time in Early Access, including the release of new regions, quests, gameplay mechanics, enemies, items, and more, through its Fellhollow, Dowdun Reach, and Umbral Sands updates. The console editions of RuneScape: Dragonwilds feature every update previously made available during Early Access and will feature cross-play on all platforms. Today’s launch also sees a fourth major update – Scorned Wilderness – to all platforms, bringing the game’s opening core narrative, the Kuldra Saga, to an epic conclusion.
“After nearly a year and a half since we first gave players early access, we’re really excited to finally launch RuneScape: Dragonwilds across PC and console platforms. It’s the culmination of months of working towards bringing the game to millions of new players, and we’re only really getting started,” said Jesse America, executive producer, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, in a press release.
“We can’t wait to see how Early Access players react to the Scorned Wilderness content and the conclusion of the game’s first saga, and how newcomers experience their first steps on their journey across our world.”
Jagex: the RuneScape company has already confirmed that the first post-launch major update for the game, titled “Luminance” will be released in December this year, with the 2027 roadmap to be revealed during October’s fan celebration, RuneFest.
“Today is one of the biggest days in RuneScape’s history. For the first time ever, our world is playable on console, putting Dragonwilds in front of millions of new players who are discovering RuneScape for the very first time,” said Jon Bellamy, CEO, Jagex: The RuneScape Company in the same press release.
“It now stands as the third pillar of the RuneScape franchise, alongside our existing games, and shows just how far this world can grow. I’m thoroughly proud of what the team has achieved with this launch. But today is only the start of that journey, we’ve got big plans for what comes next!”
RuneScape: Dragonwilds is now available on Steam, Epic Games Store and the Jagex Launcher in both Digital Standard and Deluxe Editions, PlayStation 5 (and on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers for subscribers), and XBOX Series X|S, available day one across Premium and Ultimate tiers of XBOX Game Pass. The game is also available in a Digital Standard Edition on Nintendo Switch 2. Physical Standard and Deluxe Editions of RuneScape: Dragonwilds will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and XBOX Series X|S in Q4 2026.
