What's happening this week:
- We currently working on finalising the initial design for how we plan to remove MTX items from RuneScape that are no longer compatible with our integrity-led game design. We're aiming to be able to share this blog towards the end of the week, but a short delay may be necessary if we want a little more time to firm up certain details.
- Dragonwilds 1.0 is launching tomorrow, so we'll all be cheering on our fellow JMods as they take this hugely exciting next step for the game. We hope that you will join us and them in Ashenfall on September 15th.
- Speaking of which if you want to see Dragonwilds in action, Mod Yuey will be getting to grips with it on our Official Twitch channel on the 17th at 15:30 gametime, be sure to tune in!

Checking In: Jagex Launcher On Mac
We’ve been working away on an Apple Silicon native version of the Jagex Launcher, with a provisional release window within the next two months.
This means we’ll be well ahead of the compatibility for Intel-based applications ending, which is due take place with macOS 28 in 2027. However, with MacOS 27 releasing on September 14th, there will be a temporary step up until our native Launcher version releases that we want you to be aware of.
Our current Launcher is an Intel-based application which relies on Rosetta for compatibility. Rosetta is not installed by default on macOS 27, so if you upgrade to this OS, the launcher may fail to open the first time you boot it.
If that happens, you’ll immediately see a one-time prompt to install Rosetta; you’ll need to be online, accept the install and may need to re-enter your macOS credentials. After that, everything should work normally with no further disruptions.
Stay tuned for news on our Apple Silicon launch where this will be a thing of the past!
Jagex Launcher Minimum Spec
We also want to let you know about a change to the minimum spec for the Jagex Launcher. We avoid these changes as much as we can, but this key change will mean we can better support the majority of our Mac players.
For Mac users, minimum spec will move from macOS Big Sur (macOS 11) up to macOS Monterey (macOS 12). So, if you're still on macOS 11 or earlier, you'll need to update your OS to keep using the Launcher once this update goes live.
The minimum spec stays at Windows 10 for Windows players. That said, if you're on Windows 7 or 8, it's worth knowing these are already unsupported - so we can't promise the Launcher will keep working on them once the update rolls out.
RuneScape: Dragonwilds 1.0 Launching Tomorrow!
We hope you're as excited as we are because RuneScape: Dragonwilds launches into Version 1.0 tomorrow!
