What arrives with full launch?
The September release is planned alongside the Scorned Wilderness, the Kuldra encounter, and the next equipment tier: Rune armour, Black Dragonhide, Ancestral robes, and Dragon equipment. These features are announced for launch and should not be confused with content already playable in version 0.12.1.
Can console and PC players play together?
Jagex explicitly announced crossplay for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Its Switch 2 announcement confirms the same September launch date but does not repeat the crossplay claim, so treat Switch 2 crossplay as unconfirmed until Jagex clarifies it. Platform-account, save-transfer, store, and server-browser details may also receive further clarification; do not assume cross-save merely from a crossplay announcement.
Should I buy hardware or hosting now?
Wait for final platform and save details if those determine your purchase. Managed hosting is optional, and a normal player-hosted co-op session may be enough for a small group. Use the server hosting comparison if your party wants a persistent world.
What should Early Access players do before September?
- Follow the current-version page so announced launch features stay separate from live content.
- Keep backups of important worlds, especially before major updates.
- Finish the Umbral Sands progression you want to complete, but avoid treating roadmap timing as a reason to rush.
- Check Jagex's release notes closer to launch for save compatibility and platform-specific instructions.
