Warframe Gets Official Switch 2 Version Alongside New Warframe in Latest Update

Digital Extremes has officially launched Warframe for the Nintendo Switch 2 with its Shadowgrapher update that also introduces the game’s latest game mode and a new playable warframe, Follie. Warframe was available for the original Nintendo Switch and for the Switch 2 via the Switch 2 eShop, thanks to the handheld’s forward compatibility capabilities, but this latest Switch 2 version is optimized for the new game console. According to the announcement, the Switch 2 version will be playable at 60 FPS and 1080p in both docked and handheld mode, with faster load times and Switch 2-optimized controls, including support for mouse mode using the right Joy-Con.

Warframe for Switch 2 also supports DLSS, better audio and shader quality, and volumetric lighting, meaning the game will look a lot more like it does on a reasonably powerful gaming PC—there was a noticeable decrease in quality on the original Switch. It also features cross-save and cross-play with other platforms, and players who log in on the Switch 2 between March 25 and April 15 will get a free Ambimanus pack with a Vericres Warfan weapon, a warfan skin, the Slicing Feathers mod, three-day affinity and credit boosters, a Broadsword Past/Future sigil, and the Buddies in Gaming glyph.
