In addition to RuneScape, Jagex has released multiple casual games on its FunOrb portal, as well as other titles.

The new company created a paid version of the game with extra features, to support hosting costs and continued development.

[14] Initially, the company was self-funded; however, in October 2005, Jagex received an investment from Insight Venture Partners.

[17] Jagex became a member of the United Kingdom's game developer trade body, TIGA, on 15 April 2009.

Richard Wilson, TIGA's CEO, described Jagex as "one of the most successful game developers in the world, not just the UK.

Jagex has developed extraordinarily popular games and is at the leading edge in terms of online safety and security.

[22] In July 2016 Jagex was purchased by Hongtou, a Chinese investment company, which was subsequently acquired by Zhongji Holdings, which later changed its name to Fukong Interactive Entertainment.

[23] Jagex remained under Hongtou within Fukong's structure until it was sold to Macarthur Fortune Holding, a US-based asset management company, in April 2020 for $530 million.

[32] In February 2024, CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII and Haveli Investments purchased Jagex from the Carlyle Group for £910 million.

Jagex has donated artwork and prizes to the MMO Calendar, which raises funds for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

[34] In July 2014, Jagex helped raise awareness about the illegal poaching of black and white rhinos by adding rhinoceros pets and trivia questions to RuneScape.

RuneScape takes place in the world of Gielinor, a medieval fantasy realm divided into different kingdoms, regions, and cities.

Players can choose to fight non-player character (NPC) monsters, complete quests, or increase their experience in the available skills.

[38] Players interact with each other through trading, chatting, or by participating in mini-games and activities, some of which are competitive or combative in nature, while others require cooperative or collaborative play.

On 11 December 2014, Block N Load, a sandbox building tactical first-person shooter (FPS) game went into closed beta.

[50] On 8 May 2018, it was announced that the game would be removed due to "multiple technical issues" combined with a dwindling player base.

On 10 May 2011 Jagex announced that it was working with the New York-based children's media company Herotainment to publish a new browser-based game called Herotopia,[57] which was released on 25 May.

[58] According to Jagex the game will be a "virtual world which provides kids with a fun and enjoyable experience they can make their own.

[60] On 1 July 2021, Jagex announced it was publishing a loot shooter called Space Punks, developed by games studio Flying Wild Hog.

[62][63] Jagex released its first mobile game, Bouncedown, for the iPhone and iPod Touch on 3 December 2009, followed by StarCannon on 15 April 2010, Miner Disturbance on 8 June 2010, and Undercroft on 23 September 2010.

The game was slated for a 2011 launch, but in March 2012 Jagex announced that development had been paused in favour of Transformers Universe and RuneScape.

A closed beta was opened on Steam on 23 April 2016,[citation needed] then was subsequently shutdown on 15 May 2017[70][71] due to lack of users.
