What if I can't install the game client?
We recommend using the RuneScape game client to play. However, you can also continue to play using a different web browser, such as Internet Explorer.
Browser Support
Changes to how you play RuneScape
Recent updates to Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox drop support for the Java plug-in required to play RuneScape.
As such, it's no longer possible to play RuneScape in these browsers.
To continue playing, install the RuneScape game client. The client is made by Jagex and available for Windows and Mac.
