Old School RuneScape Annual Revenue
Jagex does not report Old School RuneScape revenue on its own. The figures below cover the combined RuneScape franchise, which includes Old School RuneScape and RuneScape 3.
Franchise revenue climbed from £92.8 million in 2018 to £125 million in 2021, a seventh straight year of growth. Lifetime revenue passed 3 billion USD in January 2026, up from 2 billion a year earlier. Memberships supply most of the total, with 2.4 million active subscribers across the franchise.

About Old School RuneScape
Old School RuneScape launched on February 22, 2013, developed and published by Jagex. It rebuilds RuneScape from a 2007 backup, restoring the original mechanics longtime fans wanted back. The genre is fantasy MMORPG.
Gameplay is open-ended. Players train more than 20 skills, including combat, fishing, crafting, and magic, and advance at their own pace across a large persistent world of quests, bosses, and dungeons. Trading runs through the Grand Exchange and a player-driven economy, while a community polling system lets players vote on new updates. The free version covers core content, and membership unlocks more skills, quests, and map areas. The long grind and open-ended progression put it closer to sandbox games such as the Terraria player count than to session-based competitive titles.
