RS3's weekly average has increased to:
16,208 (July 1–7) → 17,347 (July 8–14) → 18,070 (July 15–21) → 18,389 (July 22–28)
Player counts are still up and growing, but the rate of growth is slowing down before Leagues hits.
If the present trend continues, RS3's average concurrent player count will be around 18,500 immediately before Leagues II: Equilibrium launches on August 10.
August 10 is a Monday. For that week and day of the week, RS3 averaged 18,144 in 2025 and 23,778 in 2024. We are already projected to be slightly ahead of 2025 by that time, although still below 2024.
I expect RS3 will exceed the 2024 figure once Leagues begins because a lot of people are going to try it.
Another positive sign for the game is that July's monthly Hiscores total has reached 202,255 accounts, up from 182,749 in June and the highest monthly total since March.
