Warframe, the acclaimed free-to-play online action game from developer Digital Extremes, is set to receive a highly anticipated cross-save update before the end of 2023.
Originally launched in 2013, Warframe has established itself as a staple among multiplayer online games, renowned for its fluid combat and ongoing content support.
The game is available on multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, where it can be downloaded via the Nintendo eShop.
In an announcement made in August 2023, Digital Extremes confirmed that cross-save functionality will soon be introduced to Warframe.
This major update will offer players the ability to seamlessly transfer their game progress and character data across different platforms— such as Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, PC, and the forthcoming mobile versions on iOS and Android.
This means users can play Warframe on their preferred device at home and continue their adventure on the go, without losing any progress.
Rebecca Ford, Creative Director at Digital Extremes, clarified the studio’s goals: "Enabling cross-save has been a top priority for our team, as we strive to unify our player base and provide more freedom in how and where people play Warframe." With the game’s expansion onto iOS and Android around the corner, this feature promises to enhance the mobile experience, allowing veterans and new players alike to access their Tenno across all supported hardware platforms.
Since its debut on the Nintendo Switch in November 2018, Warframe has maintained a robust player community through consistent content updates and accessibility.
The introduction of cross-save reflects Digital Extremes’ ongoing commitment to supporting its player base and meeting the evolving needs of today’s multi-platform gaming audience.
Warframe’s arrival on mobile devices is eagerly anticipated, as it further extends the reach of this blockbuster title.
When the cross-save system is officially released in 2023, it will mark yet another milestone in Warframe’s journey—joining the ranks of industry leaders who embrace cross-progression as a standard feature.
For now, fans can continue to enjoy Warframe on the Nintendo Switch eShop, and soon, they can look forward to truly unified gameplay—no matter where or how they play.
