NINTENDO SWITCH DETAILS
\n\u2981 FREE: Warframe is free-to-play on Nintendo Switch and digitally downloadable.
\n\u2981 Cooperative Four-Player Gameplay: Warframe delivers dynamic 1-4 player cooperative play on Nintendo Switch on day one.
\n\u2981 Launch Content: Warframe launched on PC in March 2013. When Warframe arrives on Nintendo Switch November 20, it will deliver more than five years\u2019 of game content including 23 major updates, three cinematic quests, one open-world update and 36 Warframes.
\n\u2981 All of the content up to the Mask of the Revenant update — updates, weapons, Warframes, items, gear — are included at Nintendo Switch launch.
\n\u2981 The current Prime Access program will provide players with access to Mesa Prime, Mag Prime, and Chroma Prime, and will be in-line with currently running Prime programs on all other systems at launch.
\n\u2981 Post-Launch Content: Warframe is a games-as-a-service title constantly offering regular free updates.
\n\u2981 The open world Fortuna expansion will arrive on Nintendo Switch soon.
\n\u2981 Garuda, the 37th Warframe, will arrive on Nintendo Switch simultaneous with the Fortuna update.
\n\u2981 Warframe on Nintendo Switch will be in content parity with all other consoles in 2019 (exact date TBD).
\n\u2981 Controllers, Motion Control: Warframe will support motion controls and Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers at launch. Tenno can use the classic L\/R Joy-Con controllers 1) attached to the Nintendo Switch console, 2) attached to the Nintendo Switch Grip, 3) detached Joy-Con controllers, and 4) Pro Controllers. Players can customize the level of sensitivity in the menu to their liking!
\n\u2981 Motion Controls: Motion control functionality is available at launch. All controls \u2013 mining, shooting, fishing, etc. \u2013 are motion control enabled.
\n\u2981 Chat: Warframe provides built-in voice chat, and does not require the Nintendo Switch Online App
\n\u2981 Cross-Play \u2013 Digital Extremes loves the idea of cross-play, but currently Warframe does not support it.
\n\u2981 Migrating Accounts \u2013 Just like with the PS4 and Xbox One accounts, Digital Extremes will permit players to migrate their PC account to their Nintendo Switch account. This will happen during a limited time frame from day one at launch to a future date (TBD).
\n\u2981 Storage \u2013 As a games-as-a-service title with five years\u2019 worth of content, players can download Warframe straight to their system. We recommend a 32 or 64 GB SD card, as we plan to bring more content in the future.
\n\u2981 Always Online: Warframe is an always-online game \u2013 meaning it requires an online connection to play.
\n\u2981 Have Fun!: Start solo and invite friends to play as you level up. We\u2019ll join you in the Origin System, Tenno!<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAnd some screenshots:<\/p>\n
