Digital Extremes has expressed eagerness to develop a native version of Warframe for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. During TennoCon 2025, CEO Steve Sinclair revealed that the development team is excited to utilize the advanced hardware capabilities of the Switch 2, including faster load times and enhanced performance. However, a delay in obtaining a developer kit from Nintendo is preventing the team from moving forward. Meanwhile, players can still enjoy the original Switch port thanks to backward compatibility. The event also showcased the new narrative chapter, The Old Piece, which will push forward the game's current Void War storyline.

Will Warframe have a dedicated version for Nintendo Switch 2?

Yes, Digital Extremes plans to create a dedicated version of Warframe for Nintendo Switch 2, pending the acquisition of a developer kit from Nintendo.

Warframe is a free-to-play sci-fi shooter that has captivated millions of players since its launch. Set in a vast and immersive universe, players control members of the Tenno, ancient warriors using powerful combat skills and customizable frames, engaging in fast-paced missions across various planets. The success of Warframe has been bolstered by continuous updates and expansions, making it a standout title in the live-service genre, with a dedicated community and ongoing narrative development.
