It’s a proud day for RuneScape creator Jagex, as it has announced that its mobile title Old School RuneScape has seen huge success in the first week since its release on iOS, claiming the “number one position” in the iOS App Store “in eight countries in its first 24 hours.” “In addition to ranking #1 in the US, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, and key Nordic countries,” the official press release says, “the game featured as a top ten iOS title in a total of 15 countries.”

More than one million players have installed Old School RuneScape on iOS, adding to the “one million-plus members already playing on Android.” According to the press release, “The influx of players during launch week saw Old School RuneScape hit its highest ever daily average user (DAU) figure in its five-year history.” The studio also touts the game’s App Store reviews, of which 93% have awarded the game five stars, “providing an App Store average rating of 4.9 out of five in the US.”

The launch shows the development team Jagex have hit the nail with the decision to create a full port for the mobile platform with implemented cross-platform support, which could continue the growth of the franchise over the upcoming years. Runescape has already brought in almost a billion dollars since its release 17 years ago.

According to Jagex CEO, Phil Mansell, the mobile release is a huge milestone for the team and was something they planned for a long time. "Making our living games available to more players on more devices was a priority for us as we set out the third age of Jagex," Mansell said, adding that many of old school players now probably have limited time to enjoy the game so they wanted to make the grind possible on the go.

Old School Runescape has been released as a free to play title but there's also a version for subscribers that costs £8.65 a month and brings some extra stuff like a bigger map, more quests, skills and additional bank account slots.
