As awesome as it is to have launched on Steam, the highlight for me (and definitely quite a few others here) was seeing how many of you turned up to support the new players and welcome them with open arms.
It was honestly amazing to see. There was a lot of pride in what an incredible community you all are yesterday. Thank you.
Can you please add the linux and mac clients to steam too. I know of proton but a native client already exists for both platforms or are there specific issues with implementing steam with the clients? Thanks
It's something we're considering, yeah! Nothing to confirm for sure today on those fronts, but it is being talked about.
The reason why we only did the one client is simply because this is a big step for RuneScape! We put all our focus into one client (Windows) to make sure we nailed the Steam integration for that first.
Are the trading cards and other steam goodies out today too, or are those dropping at a later date? I can't for the life of me find them.
Those will come shortly after launch - they are ready to go, but as a new game launch we have to wait a little bit before they can be added. We expect to have news pretty soon on their availability.
How do I link steam to Runescape?
You can do it in the client when you play through Steam (you need to download it via Steam to do that).
You can also link your accounts on RuneScape.com in Account Management -> Linked Accounts.
Are the trading cards and other steam goodies out today too, or are those dropping at a later date? I can't for the life of me find them.
The Trading Cards are out shortly after launch and all those bits and bobs are tied to completing card collections. We'll hopefully have some news on the Trading Cards coming out pretty soon here.
We hear you on this - it's in our plans for the future since the requests from the Beta!
Did this work when you tested it?
Steam Account linking has been live for a good while now (over a week) with no issue. It was load related problems in the end.
It's fixed now if you were unable to link because of it. Thanks for the patience!
Hi everyone. If you were encountering issues linking your Steam account, please try again now - the team have deployed updates that seem to have resolved the issue. Let us know if you're still encountering issues!
Will players be able to purchase Bonds with their Steam money now?
There's no option to buy Bonds with your Steam Wallet.
We don't have support for linking multiple accounts, though you can link and unlink your Steam account at will.
The whole losing your 50 bank spaces at the end of the purchase doesn't sit right with me ngl
Got you an answer on this one - these are the same 50 bank spaces you get with Premier usually (which also expires once your Premier expires).
Hi everyone! We (the RS Wiki) have created some simple guides for new players on the Steam community hub to help new players learn the game, and find their way to the wiki. Please show them some love!

We are blown away by these. The hard work and care is so evident. Thanks for contributing some amazing guides for the new players!
Account linking isn't working for me throws constantly different errors, some related to me being a bot, some to random internal errors. When I get to the login and enter all my details it says session expired.
We're working on getting this fixed - seems access is intermittent so you may be able to get it working in the meantime. We should have an update shortly.
s are only exclusive to the Steam Membership Access Packages in
So in the future I'd be able to get the Coggo (Frog x cog) pet? I have a bunch of Preimer Club Reward Tokens that I cannot do anything with because I have unlocked everything. It'd be great if you could add them to those. :o
Yes. Let's just say - hang on to those Premier Club Reward Tokens you just mentioned.
So can we or can we not link more than one account to steam? You guys have an achievement that is unobtainable to ironman players. /u/jagexhooli
You can't link multiple accounts at once, but you can link and unlink accounts. If you link to your non-Ironman, unlink and then link back to your Ironman, that should solve your issue in your case.
Are we able to purchase membership via steam?
Yes, either through the Membership Access Packs or by subscribing to Membership in-game if you want your subscription paid through Steam Wallet.
I can't even link my account as it keeps giving me an error.
Also, I have the non-steam version of NXT, can I uninstall the non-steam version now that I downloaded the steam version?
Our team on working on this - we'll post back with any updates.
Doesn't look like it.
You can use your Steam Wallet to purchase standard recurring membership by going through the in-game client (while playing on Steam).
Frog pet = $170 AUD
I am the big sad.
Just as a heads up, the Steam cosmetics are only exclusive to the Steam Membership Access Packages initially at launch - they will be available through other methods in the future.
Honestly this looks like early release of premier club, I would not be surprised if this is exact overlap with premier considering it has the same things as previous year like
- Extra daily key
- Cosmetic tokens
- Some sort of cosmetic outfit
- 12 months of members
And its only like three weeks until premier would be revealed anywas.
This isn't a replacement for Premier Club. We'll have more news on Premier Club soon.
