Where do I safely download OSRS?

PC: official Jagex Launcher links (oldschool.runescape.com or jagex.com/launcher). Mobile: Google Play or the Apple App Store only — never sideload a random APK.

Is Old School RuneScape free to download?

Yes. The client/app is free. Membership is optional for members’ worlds and content; F2P exists on free worlds.

Should I use RuneLite instead of the official client?

Many players prefer RuneLite or HDOS (Jagex-approved third-party clients) for QoL. You can install those and still launch via the Jagex Launcher.

Does OSRS work on Mac?

Yes via the Jagex Launcher Mac installer, or through approved third-party clients. Mobile uses the iOS App Store build.
