Warframe for Nintendo Switch 2 and The Shadowgrapher update are both now available

Digital Extremes has launched Warframe for Nintendo Switch 2 today alongside The Shadowgrapher Update for all platforms.

This is the game's first major update of the year. The Switch 2 version is a separate app from the Switch version. It is currently available on the console eShop for Switch 2 and not on the web eShop here. The Warframe Switch 2 download size is 38.8GB and it features a special login bonus until April 15. Warframe is now available on Switch 2, PS5, PS4, Xbox, Switch, iOS, Android, and PC. You can find Warframe's The Shadowgrapher Update and Switch 2 launch trailers with more details from Digital Extremes below:

 Digital Extremes’ free sci-fi epic Warframe, a zeitgeist of online gaming, is now available for Nintendo Switch 2. It launches alongside the game’s next major update, The Shadowgrapher, free to players on all platforms today, and celebrates 13 years of a growing community for more than 85 million players around the world.

New and veteran players on Nintendo Switch 2 can experience Warframe’s rich universe and evolving world with improved FPS, resolution, load times, textures, and shader quality, as well as Joy-Con 2 mouse control support. Play alongside others on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, iOS, Android, and the original Nintendo Switch for endless adventures through the Origin System with Cross Platform Save and Cross Platform Play. Those who log in to Warframe on a Nintendo Switch 2 console through April 15 will earn the exclusive Ambimanus Pack, which includes a free Warfan weapon among other cosmetics and resource boosters.

“Warframe is officially live on every major gaming platform with full cross-play and save, which feels absolutely wild to say about a game in its 13th year,” said Rebecca Ford, Creative Director. “Creating a seamless gameplay experience for millions of players who can become friends from anywhere in the world on separate mobile devices, consoles, and PC is a development journey that blows my mind. Warframe’s goal is, and always will be, to bring people together and give them a place to call home, where their day might end just a little better than it may have started. When the next console arrives, you can guarantee we will be there to meet our players.”

Known for slick, frenetic gameplay, hand-crafted cinematic Quests full of emotional storytelling, and endless ways to customize playstyle and aesthetics, Warframe has grown for more than a decade into a multi-generational game with over 85 million registered players across all major gaming platforms to date. It has evolved from an open beta launch with one tileset and four playable Warframes into one of the most expansive games around, with 20 Planets, four Open Worlds, more than 30 Quests, and, now with The Shadowgrapher update, 64 base Warframes available. 

Follie, the latest Warframe added in the Shadowgrapher update, brings a slew of abilities based on her Rorschach inkblot inspirations. Squad up and survive together in a new co-op game mode inspired by the online multiplayer survival horror genre: Follie’s Hunt. This mode pits four players against Follie, who stalks and attacks bravely curious wanderers around the map, reacting to the allied team’s actions. This update also offers brand new collectable cosmetics, community social features, quality of life improvements, and more to try out.
