Jagex Launcher
Jagex Launcher is the central application distribution and account management hub for RuneScape and Old School RuneScape, the long-running massively multiplayer online role-playing games published by Jagex. The launcher handles game updates, account login, game client selection, and launcher-wide settings. It is the required entry point for Mac players to access either RuneScape title and represents Jagex's unified approach to game distribution across multiple platforms.

1 suggestionJagex has publicly committed to delivering a native Apple Silicon version of the Jagex Launcher before macOS 28 ships in September 2028. As of now (May 2026), the Intel-only build still runs under Rosetta 2, but Jagex stated in April 2026 that the native build would launch later in 2026. Check the official RuneScape news portal and the Jagex Launcher settings menu periodically for the availability announcement. Once released, the native build should update automatically through Jagex's built-in launcher update mechanism, or you can re-download from the official Jagex site. Given Jagex's explicit public commitment, waiting for the native release is the right approach — there is no need to seek an alternative launcher.
