During its first Devstream of 2026, Digital Extremes announced that Warframe for Android will launch on February 18, revealed that the Switch 2 native release will run at 1080p 60fps, and also revealed the game's next update: The Shadowgrapher.

The Shadowgrapher launches for all platforms in March. Warframe for Nintendo Switch 2 will launch later in Q1 2026 and it features 1080p 60fps support docked and handheld, mouse controls, improved shaders, and more. With the Switch 2 and Android launches, Warframe will be playable on all current platforms and it also supports cross play and cross save.

 Digital Extremes held its first Devstream of the year and revealed Warframe on Android’s release date, Wednesday, Feb. 18, as well as the game’s next update, The Shadowgrapher, set to arrive for all platforms for free in March.

“We are one step closer to making Warframe playable on every current-gen platform with the upcoming launch on Android devices,” said Megan Everett, Community Director. “It’s always been our goal to make Warframe as accessible as possible. Our game has a little something to offer for everyone, and this is the next major step to sharing the Warframeexperience with new Tenno around the world. Thanks to Cross Play and Cross Save, the sky is the limit to who you play with and how you play!”
