Jagex has officially confirmed that RuneScape: Dragonwilds will launch on PlayStation 5 later in 2026. This announcement marks a significant milestone, bringing the 25-year-old franchise to consoles for the very first time. The news surfaced during a recent PlayStation State of Play event, where Sony detailed the upcoming release alongside other major titles.
The survival crafting title is set to be available on day one through PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium subscriptions. This aligns with the broader lineup of games Sony is offering to its subscribers this month, as detailed in our coverage of the June 2026 PlayStation Plus monthly games. Players looking to expand their library can expect this new entry to join other popular titles in the service.
Before the console debut, the PC version of RuneScape: Dragonwilds, developed by Jagex, has already achieved significant traction. The game has moved 1 million copies on Steam and currently holds a “very positive” rating from users. The official description highlights the game’s setting and mechanics:
On RuneScape’s forgotten continent of Ashenfall, dragons have awoken. Gather, build, skill and craft to survive in this co-operative (1-4) survival crafting game. Only by mastering survival and uncovering ancient secrets can they hope to slay the Dragon Queen – alone or with allies.
While the new survival spin-off is coming to consoles, the core RuneScape experience remains a staple on PC and mobile. The medieval fantasy MMO, which debuted in 2001, is still playable through both modern RuneScape and Old School RuneScape. Despite the franchise’s longevity, neither version has previously made it to console platforms.
