RuneScape Dragonwilds live on Xbox Game Pass Day One

Get ready to plunge into a new realm, because the sprawling open-world adventure RuneScape: Dragonwilds is heading to consoles as a day one title on Xbox Game Pass next month.

Developer Jagex has announced that this groundbreaking game, which blends the familiar medieval MMORPG world with modern survival and crafting mechanics, is the first standalone title in the long-running franchise to hit consoles. It marks a significant milestone, bringing the depth and lore of Gielinor to new platforms in an exciting new format.

With over 1 million copies already sold during early access, anticipation for Dragonwilds is palpable. Players are invited to explore a previously unexplored continent known as Ashenfall, embarking on an epic quest driven by untamed, transformative magic that pulses through the fractured land.

The narrative hook invites players to journey solo or in teams of four, seeking to uncover the mysteries behind the wild magic that spills across the landscape. The central theme involves mastering the power of anima-rich environments, not just for powerful spells in battle, but for practical uses in collecting resources and crafting essential gear.

To navigate this wild expanse, players will need to hone their skills, prepare potent potions, and craft specialized equipment to survive encounters with fierce dragons. The ultimate goal is to carve a path through the dangerous wilderness and confront the formidable Dragon Queen herself.

The launch on September 15 will feature the 1.0 version, seamlessly integrating the brand-new Scorned Wilderness update alongside all the content from the upcoming Umbral Sands expansion. This launch is not just an update; it’s a massive expansion of the world waiting for exploration.

Availability is expanding across the gaming landscape. The game will launch on PC via Steam, the Jagex Launcher, and Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation 5. Furthermore, subscribers to PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium will also gain access to the title.

For Xbox players, the opportunity is even more appealing, as RuneScape: Dragonwilds will be a day one launch on Xbox Game Pass, making it instantly accessible to a vast library of games. The game is also available on Xbox Series X and S.

The game is also set for a major console rollout, with physical Standard and Deluxe Editions slated for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in the fourth quarter of 2026, offering players the chance to own a tangible piece of this adventure.
