Jagex has announced that RuneScape: Dragonwilds will arrive on Xbox Game Pass immediately upon its full release on September 15, 2026. The co-op survival spin-off marks the first time the RuneScape franchise appears on Xbox in any capacity. The game is currently in Early Access and will transition to its official 1.0 launch alongside the Game Pass debut, giving subscribers access to the title without additional cost from day one.
This move represents a significant platform expansion for the long-running fantasy series, which has previously existed outside Microsoft's ecosystem. The inclusion on Game Pass at launch signals Jagex's confidence in the title's appeal to a broader audience and provides an immediate audience through the subscription service's player base.
- RuneScape reaches Xbox for the first time through Dragonwilds' Game Pass inclusion on September 15, 2026.
- The co-op survival game exits Early Access and launches its full 1.0 version on the same day.
- Day one Game Pass availability eliminates the typical barrier to entry for new players discovering the franchise on the platform.
