Warframe Cross-Play Update Goes Live

For Digital Extreme’s Warframe, the game made a grandiose entrance as it made waves on Xbox, PlayStation, PC, and even Nintendo Switch. But what came as a surprise was a dedicated version for PlayStation 5 shipping independently in late 2021. While it is no reason to question its existence, it was relevant as Xbox Series was absent at the time.

However, the wait was not an eternity as both Xbox Series X alongside Xbox Series S welcomed a dedicated version of Warframe to the new wave of consoles. Now one last trek for Warframe is to properly bridge the game for users to play with no boundaries – cross-play. In recent years, more and more games made the transition so lobbies stay plentiful without dulling segregated servers per console family.

Recently, Digital Extremes announced the update is live across all supported platforms and with it also comes cross-platform save as well. You can watch the trailer in the video below:

“With the launch of Cross Platform Play in Lua’s Prey you will be able to play Missions across PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch either by joining a fellow Tenno’s Squad or using Public Matchmaking. You can also use Chat to coordinate and communicate with other players. Players across platforms can meet in Relays and visit Dojos! However, there is currently a known issue will prevent Cross Platform Squads that form before entering a Dojo. To prevent this issue, load into the Dojo first and then invite Squad members from a different platform.

“While Cross Platform Play is active, you will notice that you now have your platform icon next to your name. All players on a different platform to you will have a Cross Platform Play icon to help identify that a squad member or other player is joining you from another system. Another addition is numeric suffixes to player names/aliases. To help identify players who have the same name across different platforms, everyone has been assigned a numeric suffix.”

Warframe is out now for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch.
