[2021] This Week In RuneScape: Mental Health Awareness Week

Hey everyone. Got a quick update here on the Mobile front based on some new changes incoming today - we'll be adding this to TWIR shortly.

Mobile Minimum Requirements Update

As part of our work to offer a top-drawer experience when we launch on Mobile this Summer, we've been undergoing a huge review of devices that are part of the Beta and the performance experience they offer.

While we have plenty of continued improvements and refinements coming for Mobile, we have identified a number of devices that simply won't hit the quality bar we need due to hardware limitations.

Based on these reviews, beginning later today we'll be updating our minimum requirements on Android to require Android 8.0 or higher, as well as 2GB of RAM.

While this won't impact the vast majority of players in the Android Open Beta, those with devices that don't meet these requirements will unfortunately no longer be able to play once this change comes into effect later today.

If you are one of these players, we are really grateful for the time you spent playing in our Android Open Beta. While we can imagine this news comes as a big disappointment, your participation was a critical part in helping us deliver a great experience on Mobile this summer. Thank you so much for your participation, and we hope you'll be able to join us again on Mobile in the future.

To accommodate an Old School stream that needs the Wed 12th slot, it's currently postponed a week 'til Thursday.

It's lovely to hear you're anticipating it!

I can confirm that, as with every charity event we have run, that 100% of the revenue (or proceeds) is passed to our charity partners.
