Android 32 bit Deprecation

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.

Jagex Launcher Minimum Spec

We 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.

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!

Android 32 bit Deprecation

From June 24th, Old School RuneScape will no longer be available on devices running 32 bit versions of the Android operating system, as client version 239 and onwards do not support 32 bit Android.

Therefore, existing installs on these devices will no longer be able to update or access the game.
