Back in July, it was revealed that Digital Extremes' free-to-play hit Warframe would be coming to Nintendo Switch thanks to a little help from fan-favourite studio Panic Button. The game arrives on the console next week, joining the likes of Fortnite and Paladins in the fight for free-to-play supremacy on Nintendo's hybrid machine.
If you can't wait to get stuck into the hundreds of weapons, thousands of customisation options, selection of upgrades, mod system, clans, pets, and huge open worlds the game has to offer, then you're in luck, as we've got our hands on lots of lovely new screenshots for the Switch version of the game. Let's kick things off with some gorgeous action shots.
We can also get a good look at some of the game's menus. Check them out below.
And finally, some more juicy action shots.
As noted above, Warframe arrives on Switch next week with a 20th November release date firmly locked down.
Are you excited to try Warframe on Switch? Will this be your first time experiencing the game? Let us know down below.

Oh, that looks good. They do fantastic work porting this stuff. I may look into it.
Looks great!! Which isn't surprising
Considering Panic button is involved. Gonna try it when it releases.
Looking really good. Can not wait to play this next week. Thanksgiving break will be Warframe, Fallout, Diablo III and Red Dead for me.
This reminds me a bit of the ending of 'The Predator', the suit and shape of the 'head'. Can I make it clear that this is not a recommendation to watch 'The Predator' as, unless you are under the influence of something, it is a truly, truly terrible film.
I'm excited to try this game. I'm also really hoping it runs at 60 fps like Paladins, rather than 30 fps like Fortnite...
So excited for this! Sure hope I can use my ps4 Tenno.
This looks amazing!
@tameshiyaku Can I just ask what that orange-head thing is because I just ran into it as a hostess in Yakuza Kiwami 2 and it's freaking me out.
I wish they'd put up a pre-load for this. Hyped!
@60frames-please
"While other versions run at a consistent 60 FPS, the Switch port performs at a mostly stable 30 FPS and at 720p. Swapping between docked and undocked modes is simple and painless, and there isn't much difference in performance between the two--which is impressive. However, some occasional dips in frame-rate during the more intense encounters can occur..." Gamespot
@60frames-please Nope, 30 fps.
@nessisonett It's the amazing Ono Michio (Yakuza 6)

WOOT!... this looks great.
Now that I know I can migrate my account - even more excited to try it out.
I'm even ok in waiting for FORTUNA if not in the 20th launch.
TY: @Indielink @PhilKenSebben
@Agramonte If you play on PC, there is one way migration
Wow. Looks amazing. Not a big fan of the genre but I could even give it a try.
@Agramonte They are letting you migrate your account over. Not sure if you are allowed to go back and forth though which may be a deal breaker for you. I know you like your pretty games.
Will gladly pay $ for some type of "premium edition/pack" like Paladins had. One of my most anticipated games of the year and the big reason why I didnt play Warframe on the XB.
Don't really know, or care, what this is, but those screens are really purty and it's making me anxious for Bayonetta 3.
@HatosBlack Bummer. I still might get it for Switch, but I'll have to carefully consider my options since it doesn't run smoothly. When games run at 60 fps in portable mode it makes them very tempting. I don't mind the downgrade in resolution, like in Rocket League, as long as it runs at 60 fps most of the time. I really wish they had just kept increasing the frame rate possibilities of TVs over the years. 8k resolution just sounds like decades more of 30 fps garbage to me.
@MongolRaider That sucks. I would probably only play it docked, hoping that the frame pacing is perfectly even so my smart TV can create intermediate frames thus making the game look 60 fps smooth.
This looks amazing and Warframe seems like a great game I can’t wait. Probably gonna hold off on getting the founders pack for Smite as I imagine I’ll play this more and I have a lot of stuff to play right now
@60frames-please It really doesn't matter about TVs being 8k, it's that the consoles aren't powerful enough to run games at 60fps at the visual fidelity that most developers aim for.
Also, you may not have noticed, but using frame smoothing can cause input lag. Just something to consider.
I hear it's pay to have fun so nyehh
I've played the hell out of this game on ps4 i'm looking forward to it on switch ^-^
I can't wait! Would this run better if I install it on my SD card or my system memory? Or does it not matter?
@Indielink @PhilKenSebben Oh wow... thanks for the info.
yeah that's great, but how does it run?
@NintendoFan4Lyf You can set it for Off-Line play on the top right.
I grind for stuff all the time on my own.
@Link118 yeah, the lack of power is why I'm wishing we had lower resolution TV's. If all TV's were 480p then almost every game would run at 60 or more frames per second, and that would be wonderful! Yes, input lag can ruin racing games, but the smoothness is worth the input lag to me. Breath of the wild and wind waker hd look magical with motion smoothening, but look crappy to me without it. The input lag is noticable in wind waker, but I've never had a problem with it in breath of the wild.
Nintendo Switch doesn't feel so good. Is much heavy graphics.
@tameshiyaku Nice! I'm going through the series in order so I'll get there eventually!
Can i link my ps4 warframe account?
I am impressed. But does the framerate hold up? P.S. Blizzard why no Overwatch? No excuses. Your game is very scalable.
WAAARRRRRFFFFFRRAAAMMMEEEE!!!
YES!
Beyond excited to give this game a whirl. My friend keeps telling me a bunch of stuff about it, and it makes my head spin. I just told him, "Dude!! I'll figure it out when it comes out! I don't even have it yet!" Lol
Clearly, there is an enthusiastic fanbase for this game!
I traded in my PS4 with Red Dead Redemption 2 and purchased a switch yesterday lol. I saw this in the eShop last night and was so happy because I thought it was only exclusive to Sony and Microsoft. Can’t wait to play it
@Paulywally A man of fine culture.
Congrats, and welcome to the bright side of gaming brother !!
I saw a recent Switch gameplay video and this game looks and run amazing (thank you Panic Button, you guys rocks), the game have Gyro controls from the start (yesss), internal voice chat, crossplay and crossprogression. Very impressive and i cant wait to start getting lost in that universe !!
@Paulywally Wow, may i ask why you traded in your PS4? For me one aint worth more then the other and i am actually considering buying a PS4 as a second console next to my Switch.
I'll just say. It's a good game in many aspects, although I feel like 30 fps will hold the game back on Switch (movement is crazy fast). Just be mindful if you have addictive tendencies though, the game can really try to push you into playing frequently.
12.2GB file size massive game
I'm looking forward to this more so now than I was previously, after watching some previews and videos this game is really looking good. Even if it does run at 30fps they have made sure that every aspect of the game is included.. also for those that are wanting to link accounts from PC or PS4 you can do.. with out it effecting or locking you out of your original game from what I've listen and read from Panic Button..
@Sanangelo89 @Sanangelo89 I’ve had it since launch and was so over it. Most of the games I wanted to play or were interested in are on the Switch or Wii-U. The online subscription was also expensive 19.99 for 3 months or $59.99 for a year. Switch is $19.99 for a year. The only things that i miss are the Uncharted/Last If Is series and Tomb Raider lol.
@Yorumi I watched the gameplay footage over the weekend and it looks amazing, as in the same as other platforms. I am really impressed with what they've managed to do.
