Players online over time: everyone in RuneScape and Old School together, RuneScape 3 on Steam, and an estimate for RuneScape 3 alone.
About this page
Jagex publishes one live number, everyone logged in to RuneScape and Old School together, and no RuneScape 3 world list (its world list address sends you to Old School’s). This page charts that total next to Steam’s count of RuneScape 3 players, both sampled every 15 minutes, and derives the RuneScape 3 estimate by taking away Old School’s official all-worlds total from the same 15 minutes.
Right now
Both games over time
- Logged in to RuneScape and Old School together: 83,808
RuneScape 3 on Steam over time
- RuneScape 3 players in the Steam client: 1,599
