Questions about RuneScape on Mac

Do I need Windows to play RuneScape on Mac?

No. Sommelier installs the Mac version of the game, so Windows is not involved at all.

Does online play work in RuneScape on Mac?

No anti-cheat that blocks Macs is listed for RuneScape, so nothing of that kind is known to stand in the way. Whether a given online feature works also depends on the game’s own servers.

Does RuneScape run on an Intel Mac?

It depends on how the developer built the Mac version. Sommelier checks that before you install and tells you.

Can I use a controller with RuneScape on Mac?

Yes. macOS supports Xbox and DualSense controllers over Bluetooth or USB. Whether RuneScape has full controller support is shown on its store page.
