Warframe is now available on Nintendo Switch. The free, sci-fi third-person shooter that rocked the house on PC and PS4 has finally come to the portable console.
The port was announced back in July, I think? Whenever TennoCon, the Warframe convention, was held. Developer Digital Extremes announced that Panic Button was handling the port.
With the release of Warframe on Switch, they also announced a special item pack for newcomers to the console. Available via the Comms Segment after the first mission, the item pack will no longer be available after December 4. It contains the following items.
- 50,000 Credits (main game currency)
- 3-Day Affinity Booster (an EXP boost)
- Orokin Reactor (doubles Warframe mod capacity)
- Orokin Catalyst (doubles weapon mod capacity)
- Forma (resets item affinity in exchange for a polarized mod slot)
PC players will be able to import their account save data onto the Switch. This can only be done once, cross-platform saving is not available. PS4 and Xbox One players will not be able to do this.
