Jagex has officially launched RuneScape: Dragonwilds, the open-world survival and crafting adventure set in the beloved RuneScape universe, across PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S — marking the very first time in the franchise’s 25-year history that a RuneScape title has been available on consoles.
From Early Access Sensation to Full Cross-Platform Launch
Dragonwilds first arrived in Steam Early Access 18 months ago, where it proved an instant hit, selling over 1.5 million copies and earning a “Very Positive” player rating. Now, version 1.0 has landed everywhere at once, bringing the mysterious continent of Ashenfall to a whole new audience.
In this rich survival-crafting RPG, you’ll explore the uncharted lands of Ashenfall — where dragons have awakened and the formidable Dragon Queen Kuldra looms over the realm. You’ll gather resources, build your home, master RuneScape-style skills, craft powerful gear, and uncover ancient secrets as you rise from newcomer to dragon-slaying hero.
What’s New in the 1.0 Release?
The full launch packs a massive update alongside console support:
- Scorned Wilderness — a vast new endgame region to explore
- Regicide Questline — face the Dragon Queen in the climactic conclusion of Kuldra’s Saga
- Rune & Dragon Armour Tiers plus wands as a brand-new magic weapon type
- Full crossplay across all platforms — solo or co-op with up to 4 players
- Complete combat overhaul and thousands of quality-of-life improvements
