With a new record 240,000 players online, Old School RuneScape is roughly 8x bigger than its sister MMO and would be the fourth-biggest game on all of Steam if not for a technicality

Old School RuneScape.

Weeks after crossing 200,000 concurrent players, Old School RuneScape has rocketed right onto a new peak with over 240,000 players online, further cementing the MMO's summer explosion.

Multiple OSRS players clocked the milestone on Reddit, with "a random Sunday" seeing the game soar to at least 240,851 concurrents, according to the largest figure I've seen in screenshots. For comparison, mainline RuneScape has about 30,000 concurrent players whenever I check it.
