Warframe Switch 2 Release Date Confirmed: Fast-Paced Co-op Action Hits Nintendo's Latest Console March 25

Digital Extremes, the acclaimed Canadian game studio behind the long-running online action title Warframe, has officially confirmed the release date for Warframe on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Set to launch on Nintendo's highly anticipated hardware on March 25, the Switch 2 version of Warframe arrives alongside the significant Shadowgrapher update, promising fans both new content and notable platform enhancements. Launched initially in 2013, Warframe has built a devoted community through its signature fast-paced, co-op gameplay and near-constant updates across platforms.

The move to Nintendo Switch 2 represents another milestone for Digital Extremes, enabling a broader audience to experience the dynamic combat, expansive world, and collaborative missions that define Warframe.

The developers have placed strong emphasis on hardware optimization for this new release.

The Switch 2 edition of Warframe boasts native 60 frames per second gameplay at 1080p resolution in both handheld and docked modes.

Attention has also been given to faster load times and enhanced texture and shader quality—improvements that take full advantage of Nintendo Switch 2’s next-generation hardware capabilities.

A key new feature for the Switch 2 version is comprehensive support for mouse controls via Mouse Mode.

Players can easily navigate Warframe’s complex menus and gain increased precision when aiming down weapon sights.

This enhancement dovetails perfectly with the game’s signature gunplay and parkour-inspired movement, making Warframe’s immersive arsenal and acrobatic combat even more accessible across Nintendo’s innovative hardware ecosystem. To celebrate the Switch 2 launch, Digital Extremes will gift the exclusive Ambimanus Pack to players who log in between March 25 and April 15.

This in-game bonus bundle features the Vericres Warfan weapon, an Akomeogi Warfan weapon skin, the Slicing Feathers Stance Mod, various exclusive cosmetics, and valuable Affinity and Credit boosters. With its history of cross-platform accessibility and frequent updates, Warframe’s arrival on Nintendo Switch 2 reinforces Digital Extremes’s commitment to its diverse player base.

Players eager to dive into the new and improved Warframe experience can download the title via the Switch eShop starting March 25, coinciding with the deployment of the ambitious Shadowgrapher update. Warframe’s proven formula of kinetic and cooperative gameplay, coupled with Switch 2’s hardware advancements, promises to usher in an exciting new era for this free-to-play phenomenon.

For existing fans and newcomers alike, March 25 marks a must-play moment on Nintendo’s premier console.
