13th July, 2026, Cambridge, UK - Jagex: The RuneScape Company, is thrilled to share that player-owned housing in RuneScape has been totally reimagined and is ready for players to play today. As part of the game’s ongoing 25th Anniversary Road to Restoration, players are now given a whole new level of control over their Player Owned Houses alongside an overhaul of the Construction skill, allowing them to create a space that is truly their own. 

With the Player-Owned Housing Update, the Construction skill is now capped at 120; players have access to hundreds of customization options, new ways to showcase achievements, new utility features, form Homestead communities with friends, and more:  

• A Whole New Level of Customization: With over 650 decorative items, five unique house styles, flexible room shapes and layouts, and free furniture placement, houses can reflect your personality more than ever before. Customize your flooring, interior frame, and furniture skins, and highlight each triumph with unique achievement, boss, and quest decorations to unlock. Then set the mood with your own Music Box or Jukebox, which feature all of your favorite melodies from across Geilinor.  Install a Weather Vane to control the weather and atmosphere around your home, and use the Shroud System to create a visual appearance of the plot surroundings.  

• Build Your Dream Home Alone or With Friends: Create or join a Homestead with up to five players, move seamlessly between each other's homes, make use of the facilities your neighbours have built, and shape a community that reflects the achievements of its residents. 

• A Museum of Achievement: The journey you’ve taken across your adventures deserves a place to be highlighted, and new Achievement and Collection Features will do just that. New display stations and cases allow you to showcase your finest weapons, Boss Trophies, and Archaeological finds, while the Achievement Log Display and Skillscape Stand lets you show off your progress. And finally, a Prestigious Cape Stand gives your prized cape a distinguished place of its own.  

• New Utility Features: To help you prepare for your journey ahead, new and the most iconic features have been added.  

• Travel With Ease: Create your own travel hub for your rune-based teleports with the Teleport Nexus, collect all teleportation Jewellery in the Jewelry Box, reach  your friends with ease with the Player Owned Ports Access Table, and teleport to Daemonheim quickly with the Dungeoneering Monolith. 

• Prepare for Battle: Get ready for your next encounter with Potion, Crystal/Combo, and Tea Cauldrons – each with their own added benefits. Install an Armour Repair stand, a Slayer’s Helm stand, Gilded Altars, and a mini War’s Restoration crystal to gear up easily and be ready to take on any challenge. 

• More Ways to Store: Never lose track of your most valuable items, collections, equipment, or pets again with new storage solutions, including the Furniture Trunk, Costume and Costume Room Storage, Toy Box, Treasure Chest, Armour Chest, Cape Rack, Menagerie, and Aquarium. 

• Skilling Support: Take skilling to another level with useful tools, crafting stations, and special furniture that support a variety of activities,  including new Lecterns and Expanded Lecterns which be added to your home to support tablet creation. 

• Construction Expanded to Level 120: Completely reimagined, Construction introduces a new progression system, ways to skill up, and rewards. A new furniture crafting system allows you to now directly craft furniture that can be used to decorate your home, either through active or passive training styles – the choice is up to you! As you progress, unlock new recipes, utility upgrades, new room shapes and layouts, additional customization options, new house styles and decorations, shared community benefits, and prestige rewards.   

RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
