We’ve got lots of fantastic Pride Month updates this week, and a free birthday gift to celebrate one year of RuneScape on mobile! Plus, Prime Gaming goodies and more.
Pride Month is a time to celebrate love and LGBTQIA+ identity in all its forms. We're honoured to have such a diverse community playing RuneScape, and so this Pride Month, we want to honour YOU!
We're marking the occasion with a new mini-event expanding on the backstories of Gielinor's LGBTQIA+ characters. Tales of Pride sets you on a journey to discover seven unique stories, written by LGBTQIA+ members of the RuneScape team. through journals and conversations!
The tales will take a little sleuthing to find - they take the form of journals, lorebooks, and conversations, so keep your eyes peeled! Why not hop into your favourite community spaces and hunt them down with friends? Collecting all seven tales unlocks the 2022 Pride Banner that can be used in the weapon slot, as well as a rainbow-coloured variant of the Gators from Het's Oasis!
Stylish and practical!
Speak to the Curator in Burthorpe to collect your Magic Book and begin your adventure.
The event ends on June 30th, but the book will remain in the bookcase of your Player-Owned House for you to peruse year-round.
Happy Pride!
The LGBT Corner Clan have run a few Pride parades in RuneScape now, and they’ve always been a fabulous, fun show of solidarity, with thousands of LGBTQIA+ players and allies joining across multiple worlds. We’re pleased to announce that this year is no different!
The 2022 LGBT Corner Clan Parade will take place next week - so you've lots of time to pick up the 2022 Pride Banner to bring along! On the day, simply head to Lumbridge Castle on June 24th at 17:00 Game Time on World 24.
J-Mods from across Jagex will also be joining the celebration and handing out the special Pride Love Letter variant!

Requirements Changes
In the coming months, RuneScape will no longer support Windows 32-bit builds or graphics cards that do not support OpenGL 3.0 or higher. This change allows us to focus our technical development and testing resources on more commonly-used platforms.
