Developer Digital Extremes has announced the long-awaited arrival of cross-play support for its free-to-play sci-fi shooter Warframe, meaning Tenno on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC can finally join forces wherever they may be. Show Cross-play was initially announced during Digital Extremes' TennoCon fan event in July 2021, with the developer saying it hoped to launch the feature before the end of that year. It obviously missed that target and then some, but, 12 months later, cross-play is finally here. "Warframe will always be a game best played and enjoyed with friends and that's why launching Cross Platform Play is such an incredible moment for us," Digital Extremes' chief operating officer Sheldon Carter said in a statement announcing the news. "Together with our partners, we have broken down the walls that have prevented our players from experiencing the thrill of Warframe as one united community." Watch on YouTube Warframe - Cross Platform Play Available Now.Cross-play is entirely optional, and can enabled and disabled as required. With the feature on, an icon representing a player's platform will be displayed next to their name, and they'll be able to chat, join squads, and meet in Relays and Dojos with Tenno on other systems. Digital Extremes notes cross-play VoIP chat features will be added at a later date. Also missing from today's update is cross-save, which was announced alongside cross-play last year. Digital Extremes says its Cross Platform Save feature - which it describes as an "optional service for players to migrate their progress from one platform to another" - is still in the works. More information will be released as development progresses. Today's cross-play launch follows the release of Warframe's Lua's Prey update earlier this week, introducing two story-based Conjunction Survival missions and the Voruna Warframe, designed by comic book artist Joe "Mad" Madureira. Lua's Prey serves as a "light prequel" to Warfarme's delayed The Duviri Paradox expansion, which is now expected to arrive next year.

Warframe is a multiplayer online third-person action role-playing shooter game developed and published by Digital Extremes that’s free to play. Warframe has been released on many consoles, and fans expect a mobile version to be released soon. Warframe has a dedicated fanbase that has grown so large that the developers can host Tennocon, the official convention for Warframe. Fans are informed about all the new features coming to the game at Tennocon, as well as anything else the developers feel the community should know. For a long time, fans asked Digital Extremes to add cross-play and cross-save features to the game. It was originally released in March 2013, and fans can’t switch platforms and keep their saves due to a lack of cross-save. At TennoCon 2021, Digital Extremes let players know that they were developing cross-save and cross-play functionality for Warframe. Since that initial announcement, it’s reasonable to assume the process has already begun, so it’s not farfetched to think that it’s already in place. Is there cross-play or cross-save in Warframe?As of today, no cross-play or cross-save exists in Warframe. The game is available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC, but there is no way to play with your friends if you don’t have the same platform. The only exception to this is the ability to play cross-gen, however. PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 users can play together, and Xbox users can play with others who have an Xbox console, regardless of how new it is. The only downside is that you will need to restart your progress if you switch to any other brand. Will Warframe eventually get cross-play and cross-save?Eventually, Warframe will get cross-play and cross-save as Digital Extremes promised fans the feature was coming. Fans were thrilled when Digital Extremes announced the development of cross-save and cross-play at TennoCon 2021. Since then, they’ve been working on testing cross-play internally. Finally, Digital Extremes has recently tweeted that they’re moving things forward, and community testing will begin soon.
Digital Extremes never mentioned when it would introduce cross-play and cross-save to everyone. It seems unlikely that we will see a release date until a long time from now. The tweet read more like an update on the progress of implementation and less like an announcement to get ready. Although there is no release date, you could assume how long it might take. Cross-play is normally implemented after about a year of community testing, so we should expect to see it sometime in late 2023 or early 2024. Can I link my Xbox Warframe account to switch?You will not be able to migrate accounts from PS4 or Xbox One to Nintendo Switch. Account migration is one-time use only. Sharing account progress across multiple platforms is not supported. DOES WARFRAME SUPPORT MOTION CONTROLS?
