If you're a keen Warframe player who has been planning to transfer your PC account to Nintendo Switch, consider this a handy public service announcement: account migration ends on 15th January.
Warframe released on Nintendo Switch (to much praise, it has to be said) in November 2018, allowing players to get stuck into its free-to-play action on the go. The account migration feature was soon put in place to let users transfer their account from PC to the Switch - your PC account is still left safely intact, don't worry - but you'll need to act fast if you're hoping to make use of it. The feature closes at 11am PT / 2pm ET (so that's 7pm GMT / 8pm CET) on the date mentioned above.
If you still need to migrate your account, here are the steps you'll need to follow:
- Download Warframe on your Nintendo Switch system, and make a Nintendo Switch Warframe account
- Authorize Linking your Account by accepting the prompt that appears when Warframe runs for the first time on your Nintendo Switch
- Log in here using your PC Account
- Go to the Account Management page
- Click "Migrate PC Account to Nintendo Switch" at the bottom of the page
- Be sure to read all text on the page that appears in order to understand all details surrounding your account migration
- Enter your PC Warframe Account password twice and hit the "confirm" button
- You will be redirected to a Nintendo sign-in page, click the "Sign In" button
- Enter the account credentials of the Nintendo Account you wish to copy your PC Warframe Account to finish migrating accounts.

Yep, they also need to catch Switch up to other platforms.
For you Nintenno out there, don't forget to link your account to Twitch prime for freebies.
Wish they had an option to transfer PS4 account as well. With over 300 hours on my PS4, I'd like to continue on the Switch as well. Also, the amount of platinum I've spent (and still got) on there...
@Trellgoth I wish we could transfer from PS4 too.
I only started Warframe on PC to check it out in advance for the release on Switch, but I've played more on the Switch than on PC, so transferring now wouldn't be beneficial for me.
I have definitely been enjoying the game though. I've spend every weekend playing it, an so far made it to Jupiter, with this weekend planning to make it to Europe.
I really wish this game supported crossplay, it can be hard finding players for some of the later planets, making progression difficult, they actual game itself is fun, if a bit obtuse for newcomers.
@OfNullAndVoid what part of Europe? Paris?
@SpacedDuck Europa, moon of Jupiter
@Trellgoth Sadly we already know whom we can most likely blame for that.
(They're likely called "Sony" who specifically would rather keep people trapped into their hemisphere than being able to even just be able to consider any other options).
@Dpishere To be honest I think the later planets part is just the Nintendo community having yet to catch up with veterans.
I find this an excuse to sometimes pop up on earlier planets just to help some folks along. Also ended making a ghost clan dojo(now already including all four labs) just to help along friends new to this by giving them an easy access to re: Dojo labs and researches/weapons/warframes.
Although I already transferred my account, I still prefer the PC version and I recommend it to other cause it's going to b hard to progress on console - especially on Nintendo switch and the PC version is just better overall.
I don't want to migrate, I want to merge accounts. Why the separation?
Downloaded the game when it came out on Switch and played for a bit, but also have it on Steam.
I prefer the Switch version because of gyro aim and have never played it on PC, but might at some point since a friend of mine plays it a lot on Steam.
What's the point of transferring your profile if you want to play on both platforms?
@yuwarite I honestly thing that DE will give Switch Players the opportunity to migrate to another platform if the Switch ever dies out in the lifetime of warframe. They have been very fair to players until now, I don't see a reason why they should say "you decided to migrate to Switch, your fault! Now Switch is dead, so is your account!"
@Ludovsky are you, by any chance, good at Archwing Rush missions? There is this one specific mission I cannot pass...
@Ludovsky You could be very well right, I have put more time in than a lot of players have, luckily I have by bro to play with on the later stuff but if he isn't able to play I am pretty well stuck
@OfNullAndVoid
I'm on Saturn, now I need some plat to buy a Warframe slot and claim my Nyx from the foundry.
@Ludovsky
I'm on Saturn but I play solo, mostly because I have the freedom to explore maps when I need (and capture those Simaris targets).
I need plat for Warframes slots and a clan for the dojo but typing in the virtual keyboard is a hassle and audio chat is not an option for me.
@Ludovsky considering that there has only been PC to console transfers and never Console to PC you can't blame Sony on that one.
@mazzel I finally managed to beat it but I'll certainly concede it was no easy feat and my banging in walls probably was closer to destruction derby than agile death star trench run ^^;;
@Ludovsky @mazzel Are you guys talking about the one where you have to intercept the transport vessels, destroy the 2 drones protecting them, and then destroy them?
I kept on trying in a group until the group disbanded on that one, even though on the last run I had gotten close enough to destroy at least one drone. Of course, I got so close that I got determined to try one more time. If only the group hadn't disbanded, because I made it that run. Sooo frustrating though!
@OfNullAndVoid that's the one. I had to solo it but thankfully you need to only destroy a single transport to get a victory.
Blowing up the other two is just for extra reward.
@Ludovsky Yeah, I only managed one on that successful try, and I haven't been back. There's only been a few areas so far where I had to try & try again. This one, the junction to Jupiter (before I just took Excalibur's summoned sword to quickly kill guardians, this one didn't quite work like that), and one of the story missions where you had to hack 3 terminals, all successfully, all of which you had to align all 7 grids. Except for the rush mission, I found tricks to get through them.
@OfNullAndVoid yep, that one... I will get back to it much later, too frustrating now...
@Ludovsky too bad, I wanted to invite you to do it for me
Why is there an end date for this?
