Old School RuneScape Comes to Steam in February

RuneScape was an MMORPG from Jagex that came out way back in 2001, and though the main game has evolved to cater to younger audiences, there is still a chance to play the original version with Old School RunScape. OSRS has actually blossomed into a huge community for PC and mobile, and now the game is set to come out on Steam.

As per Jagex’s official announcement, the studio is set to expand their Old School RuneScape player base on February when the game launches on Steam. Executive Producer of Old School RuneScape Rob Hendry had this to say about the upcoming launch:

“What began as a vanilla server for RuneScape has evolved into an eight-year success story and were so excited that it’s expanding to the Steam platform next month. 2021 is set to be a huge year for Old School RuneScape with a jam-packed release schedule, and all content accessible with cross-platform play. We’re confident that both our community and new players alike will find their time in the game an exhilarating one.”

Old School RuneScape has actually gained a lot of great reviews over the past years and even made whatoplay’s list for iOS’ best MMORPGs last year. The game had actually recently celebrated having a record-breaking 157,000 players logged in during the Leagues II: Trailblazer event, and the game has been frequently found on the top 10 most viewed titles on Twitch; with more than 8 million installs on mobile.

Launched on desktop in 2013, and now also on mobile devices, Old School RuneScape is the industry-leading collaboration between players and developers. Embracing its nostalgic heritage, hundreds of thousands of active players control the direction of the game with an in-game polling system. Featuring adventures for solo play through to 100-player strong raids, Old School RuneScape caters for every brave adventurer. Since 2016, Old School RuneScape has established itself as a competitive game with the seasonal free-for-all Deadman Tournaments, where winners receive huge cash prizes and membership.
