Digital Extremes, the renowned developer behind the acclaimed free-to-play online action game Warframe, has officially announced that a native version of Warframe will launch for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.
This move signifies a major upgrade for both fans of the game and those who have been awaiting next-gen experiences on Nintendo’s new hardware platform. Warframe, originally released in 2013, has seen continued success over the years with steady updates and an expanding player base.
Available on various platforms including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and the Nintendo Switch, the game has established itself as a staple in the live service genre.
However, until now, the Nintendo Switch version was limited by the original console’s hardware capabilities.
The arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 presents new opportunities for a more optimized and visually impressive Warframe experience. According to an official statement from Digital Extremes, the native Warframe port for Nintendo Switch 2 will deliver ‘smoother visuals, more responsive combat, and significantly improved overall gameplay fidelity.’ While players have previously been able to access Warframe on Switch 2 via backward compatibility with the original Switch version, this upcoming release will fully leverage the Switch 2’s advanced features, ensuring a superior gameplay experience. The announcement, first shared on the official Warframe X (formerly Twitter) account, emphasized the excitement within the development team regarding the project.
Digital Extremes affirmed that this native iteration has been designed to tap into the enhanced processing power and graphical capabilities of Nintendo’s latest console, which is poised to attract both longstanding fans and newcomers alike. As of this writing, a specific release date for Warframe on Nintendo Switch 2 has not been disclosed.
However, Digital Extremes encourages fans to stay tuned for further updates as development progresses.
With the continued popularity of Warframe and the growing anticipation surrounding the Nintendo Switch 2, this announcement marks a significant milestone in the ongoing support for cross-platform play and high-fidelity gaming on Nintendo hardware. For the latest news and official updates, keep an eye on Warframe’s channels and the Nintendo Direct broadcast schedule.
The Nintendo Switch 2 eShop is expected to feature the native Warframe edition upon its release, allowing new and returning players to experience the game at its best on next-generation hardware.
