Nearly 285 million people have played RuneScape (also known as RuneScape 3) and Old School RuneScape since the initial series release in 2001. Despite waning popularity in the late 2000s and early 2010s, RuneScape was able to deliver its best ye🌠ar in 2019, and Jagex reported record-breaking mem𓃲bership numbers in early 2020. On September 24, Jagex announced that it would be bringing RuneScape to the Steam platform — making the desktop version more readily accessible to a g𝐆lobal audienꦏce.

“Jagex is on a mission to globally,” said Phil Mansell, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Jagex CEO. “Following our games’ arrival on mobile 🎃stores, we are now expanding the availability of the desktop vers𝓡ions. Making them accessible to the Steam community is an important step in achieving this goal.”

On Steam, RuneScape will include bespoke membership packages and achievements, a new RuneScape Community Hub, and Steam-specific guides, announcements, articles, and media. It can be assumed that RuneScape will remain free to download but offer premium subscription memberships. Old School RuneScape, a different version built from the 2007 build of RuneScape, will soon follow.

The world of RuneScape has be💛en brought to Steam before, albeit unsuccessfully. In 2016, a spin-off of RuneScape called RuneScape: Idle Adventures was announced as a collaboration between Hyper Hippo and Jagexꦆ. Unfortunately, the game never made it out of Alpha, and Hy🎐per Hippo announced that the game would be shutting down as of May 17, 2017.
