Crossplay connects PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. A standard hosted session supports four players in total, including the host; the official dedicated-server guide documents a separate maximum of six. Offline solo play is also available. For crossplay, enable it when loading the world and use the in-game world browser or invite code. A normal hosted world requires its host to stay online; a dedicated world remains accessible while its server is running.

Crossplay and save boundaries
Crossplay does not provide universal cross-save. Jagex’s PlayStation FAQ says saves do not transfer between platforms, so a Steam character cannot simply be loaded on PS5 or Switch 2 by linking a Jagex account. There is a narrower Microsoft-store distinction: the Xbox SKU is labelled Xbox Play Anywhere and Xbox cloud saves, covering its Xbox/Windows ecosystem. Do not extend those entitlements to Steam, Epic, Jagex Launcher, PlayStation or Nintendo purchases. Steam and Jagex Launcher also require separate purchases, according to the help centre.
Purchase and subscription access
As checked on October 14, the Xbox listing includes the base game with Game Pass Premium, Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Essential does not include the base-game licence: its listing allows streaming a purchased copy and provides console online multiplayer. Cloud availability depends on the supported region and device. PlayStation lists the game in PS Plus Extra; online co-op requires PS Plus, while offline solo play does not. Subscription access lasts only while your eligible membership and catalogue access remain active. Prices, promotions and regional tiers should be checked in your own store. The Deluxe upgrade contains cosmetic and decorative items, not early-game power boosters; do not assume it comes with a base-game subscription.
Current version
RuneScape: Dragonwilds left Early Access on September 15, 2026. The official Steam announcement confirms that update 1.0.1 is live as of October 14, 2026. Its changes include inventory space increasing from 32 to 40, separate ring and amulet slots, and save fixes. Some save problems remain under investigation; an update is not a guarantee that every damaged save can be recovered.
