Has there been any news on if RuneScape will update to have M1 chip support on Mac?

Seems like creation of current iOS app technically did most of the heavy lifting from the engine side for ARM support already, but would be really nice if they could make some adjustments to allow for it to be present on the Mac App Store and get full experience from M1/Pro/Max without using rosetta. Currently RuneScape can be ran on M1 iPads, and this would also make using the app on iPad with keyboard a much more enjoyable experience. I do not work in programming so I have no idea of the effort such a task would require, but hoping that it may be coming in the future. Seems like this would provide a large increase to battery life and performance.

Any update is appreciated.

Hows RS3 running on the new M1 macbooks? Does it get noisy/ hot (like the 2014-series) or can you play smoothly on decent high graphic settings?

I can say that my mac m1 mini, it generates very little heat. The problem is that it's using rosetta2 and over time it starts to eat up quite a bit of ram and CPU resources. I have settings around medium and it runs pretty decently, just don't expect amazing performance, especially in high pop locations. I assume the new M2 macs may provide greater performance overall.
