The Jagex Launcher is currently an Intel-based application on Mac, supported through Rosetta 2 compatibility.

As of macOS 26.4, you’ll see a warning notification for the Jagex Launcher highlighting support is ending for these kinds of applications. Compatibility is due to end with the release of macOS 28 in 2027.

We know this will seem a little disconcerting, so we’re sharing this quick update today on what to expect. We will be developing an Apple Silicon native version of the Jagex Launcher, which will launch before the rollout of macOS 28.

We’re fully committed to ensuring there’s no disruption for any of our Mac players because of the changes to compatibility. We’ll let you know the launch date for the Apple Silicon native version of the Jagex Launcher later this year!
