Read on to check out the changes the team has made to Old School RuneScape on mobile.

‘Better Than Ever Before’

According to a recent announcement, Jagex has optimized the portable gaming experience for Old School RuneScape to ensure that playing this classic MMO away from home is now superior to any previous mobile adventure.

The assertion seems daring, yet if the update details (patch notes) serve as an indication, the team appears to be moving in the right direction to validate their statement.

Side Stones: Players can find their stones for high-intensity gameplay and more laid-back encounters divided into columns, complete with a handy button to minimise the second column for when you need to focus on the task at hand.
Hotkeys: Five custom hotkeys allow for a variety of actions, settings, and stats to be displayed. Swap between PvM and Skilling as easy as the touch of a button and alter your hotkeys based on the activity at hand with ease.
Popout Panel: The Popout Panel gives players an insight into future additions coming to the game well as XP tracking, settings for Ground Item Indicators, and lots of features and options. With a new compact design, the Popout Panel provides a minimalist aid for players to keep the focus on gameplay.
New Chat: With a new polished interface, the chat function can now be collapsed with the brand-new toggle button, featuring a bigger and better easy-to-use keyboard button to make gameplay the forefront of the screen.
Menu Entry Swapper: A recent major quality-of-life improvement, the Menu Entry Swapper has landed in the mobile version of Old School RuneScape. The MES, allows players to swap interactable elements of both NPCs and other entities, as well as Examine, Use, Cancel and more.
HiScores: Get ready to have a deeper understanding of your opponents as HiScores become available to find within the game client. Stored alongside the side panel with the XP Tracker, HiScores will let players get the upper hand on hopeful opponents climbing up Mount Karuulm and the Agility Shortcut.

The update is available for free to all users from today.
