Move over Tinder, Runescape 3 Mobile is here.

Wave your free time goodbye as the game we all love and has become more accessible now since it's made available on mobile devices!

Playing something on your phone had transformed from minimalistic pixelated ’80s like gaming to modern and immersive experiences with titles like GTA and Pokemon became available on the go.

Runescape 3 has finally embraced this trend and this has been great for us players. Jagex announced that it is officially coming to mobile devices! While OSRS Mobile is already publicly available for over a year, RS3 Mobile is still available only with early access.

But what does RS3 Mobile Early Access offer? Probemas got the most sought-after answers right here!

What Is Runescape On Mobile?

Since the dawn of time, Runescape has been a PC-only game, but things are already changing with the OSRS Mobile being available along with RS3 Mobile.

In its pure essence, RuneScape On Mobile is just an application or mobile client that will allow you to enjoy Runescape 3 to the fullest using your handheld device. So far, it is only announced that the client is available for Android users. Sad news for iOS, Windows Phone, and Amazon users as they will have to wait for future announcements.

In the past, some videos surfaced with gamers playing RS on their PSP or other devices, but they were profoundly emulated versions, so only 18 years after its initial release date, we should get a mobile version for Runescape 3.

Also, there are going to be two separate applications for the two different Runescapes: RS3 and OSRS.

RuneScape 3 Mobile Release Date

RS3 Mobile and OSRS Mobile are both available for download on the Google Play Store. OSRS Mobile was released first on October 30, 2018, while RS3 Mobile became available last October 29, 2019.

Here's the promotional video they put up once RuneScape 3 Mobile launched last year.

For those eager to play RuneScape on their iPhones. The RuneScape iOS Closed Beta has started but there's a limit on the available slots. As per Jagex, access to RS3 Mobile for iOS will be granted in waves on a first-come, first-served basis. Players are advised to follow their website and social accounts for more information on its release date and availability.

RS3 Mobile Technical Requirements and Performance

According to the developer, there are only a couple of requirements to play RuneScape 3 Mobile.

• A RuneScape account (membership is not required)
• A device running Android 6.0 or higher (some devices might not be able to install or update to the latest version)

The size of the game when installed varies per device and it requires that you are connected to the Internet to work properly.

As for those RS3 players who are using older devices – it should be possible, but the fluidity and full immersion could be out of reach if you are using a potato phone, so maybe this is just the right time to upgrade your mobile phone, don't you think?

The Differences Between RuneScape in PC and Mobile

There are some, but as RS devs mentioned, they try to keep them to a complete minimum.

For instance, the HUD and icon positions look to have been moved a bit, with the combat interface, music, and friend lists are moved to one side of the screen while inventory, quest info along with others traveled to the other side. This move seems a logical choice with a smaller screen, making features more accessible for mobile users.

The game itself should not differ in any way whatsoever. If you want to secretly enjoy that new Taylor Swift song – popping up Spotify while playing Runescape is possible, and you can quietly enjoy every second of skilling or making money while you listen to music.

Now, have you spent every penny on RS3 gold from Probemas?

Don’t worry, RuneScape on mobile is entirely free.

Have a massive PK battle in a few minutes or a cocky trash-talker challenged you on a forum? Just relax, grab your device, and you can log in and make him or her eat their words in the Sand Casino or the Wilderness. Just be careful not to lose everything as a hot temper does not lead to success in Runescape as we all very well know…

In all seriousness, the RS mobile version should embrace every bit of Runescape we fell in love with and elevate it further with the current benefits of playing on our phones.

Will Probemas offer services to OSRS and RS3 mobile players?

Most definitely! What kind of service would it be if something as massive as this in the Runescape community would be excluded from our plans?

In the end, RS Mobile is just a way to connect to the Runescape world, so your account and progress remain the same, but you can still trust us as your preferred destination for all your Runescape gold related needs.

Prices stay the same, your purchase history and bonuses will apply, and everything will go according to plan with RS mobile as well. Our website is mobile friendly and the whole gold purchase process can be done directly from your phone as well.

Final Thoughts About RS3 Mobile

Well, what seems to have been a few years in the making is finally a reality. Runescape should have been available on mobile in the past, but it is better late than never, right?

With tons of pros and advantages lurking on the horizon, the Probemas team is delighted with the prospect of Runescape being more and more accessible to players but it is entirely up to the developers to take this experience to the next level and level it out with the daily feels that PC users get.

Because that is the only worrying factor, whether this becomes an entirely playable experience and a very cool way to game on the go or just a trendy new way to pick up loot or walk from point A to point B.

The UI seems not to be on-par with the PC, and one misclick (which on handheld devices happens much more often) could lead to severe and dire consequences in RS so we think that players should be cautious when doing something extreme or radical like combating bosses or PK'ing, etc. in the first runs.

Some Youtubers have shown the combat, and on a smaller screen, it just seems like the margin for error is just too small. We suggest you try it out on a more casual background, fight weaker mobs or just explore the world a bit, see how you feel and let the game come to you, don’t force things.

Nevertheless, this new way to play Runescape, if done right, has a good chance of completely changing the landscape, and players could now participate in Clan wars or just own their opponents in the back of a car or the metro.

This just seems like a remarkable possibility, and we hope that the team behind the app does well so that everything turns out just how we expect it to be – Runescape-tastic!
