Get ready to sharpen your swords and gather your runes, because RuneScape: Dragonwilds is making its grand entrance onto Xbox Game Pass! Jagex has officially announced that this highly anticipated open-world adventure will be available to Game Pass subscribers from day one. This marks a significant moment for both the RuneScape franchise and the ever-expanding library of games on Xbox.
A New Chapter in Gielinor
RuneScape: Dragonwilds represents a bold new direction for Jagex’s long-running MMORPG franchise. While rooted in the familiar lore and charm of its predecessors, this standalone title ventures into uncharted territory with its focus on cooperative gameplay, intricate crafting systems, and challenging survival mechanics. The game has already garnered significant attention during its early access period, selling over 1 million copies – a testament to its engaging gameplay and immersive world.
Xbox Game Pass Day One Launch
The decision to launch RuneScape: Dragonwilds on Xbox Game Pass is a strategic move that will undoubtedly expose the game to a massive audience. This accessibility allows players who might not have previously considered venturing into the world of Gielinor to experience everything this new adventure has to offer. As confirmed during a recent State of Play event, RuneScape: Dragonwilds will also be available on PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers from day one.
Release Details and Editions
RuneScape: Dragonwilds is set to launch in its full 1.0 version on September 15th. This includes the brand-new “Scorned Wilderness” update, alongside all content from the upcoming “Umbral Sands” expansion. Players can choose between the Digital Standard and Deluxe Editions for PC via Steam, the Jagex Launcher, and the Epic Games Store. The game will also be available as a Digital Standard Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 on September 15th. Physical Standard and Deluxe Editions of RuneScape: Dragonwilds are slated for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in Q4 2026.
While Microsoft hasn’t unveiled the full lineup of games coming to Xbox Game Pass in September, beyond Shelldiver (Cloud, Console, and PC), which arrives on September 1st, the addition of RuneScape: Dragonwilds is a major highlight. This marks an exciting time for both Jagex fans and Xbox Game Pass subscribers alike.
