Remember last July when Digital Extremes announced it would be adding cross-play and cross-save support to its hit free-to-play title, Warframe? Well, cross platform play is now officially available.
In a new update, the company announced cross platform play was finally supported for PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
Here's a bit about how this new feature work via the PR. Note: There's also the option to enable and disable cross platform play features. VoIP chat features will also be made available in a future update.
"Warframe’s Cross Platform Play feature can be turned on and off in the game Options Menu. When the feature is enabled, a players’ platform icon will be displayed next to their name. They can Chat, join Squads, and can expect expedited Public Matchmaking as other players across all platforms in the Origin System join in for the Missions ahead. Players across all platforms can also meet in Relays and Dojos, however, VoIP chat features will be added in the future and are currently unavailable."
And as for cross-save - it's apparently "still in development". This is described as an optional service for players to migrate their progress from one platform to another. You can learn more about these new features over on the official Warframe website.
Will you be giving this new cross platform play feature a whirl? Comment below.

I forgot about this game, loved it when it came out.
Lot of changes from the release? Havent been following the updates etc.
@The-Chosen-one Lots of updates. They’ve also better optimized the open world areas… while not as pretty as a current Gen console they’re not a blurry mess like they were at launch.
This was always a very good looking game on the Switch, one day I'll get back on it.
Performance of the Switch port was unbearable the last time I tried. That's been a couple of years though.
A classic Nintendo Switch port, being one of the earliest F2P ones. I've almost forgotten about this game and thought it had died off.
@ModdedInkling it's far from dying off. Sure, I get that being locked to a specific console may seem that way, but after cross-play has been enabled, you can truly see the massive amount of people that still play it to this day. Even then,the game brings back many more with the constant updates,Duvari being one of the larger upcoming ones.
Love Warframe, bit I'd prefer cross progression first and foremost. Awesome on the go but wouldn't want to play it docked at home when I got another system at home.
Played on PlayStation early on. If they get cross save/progression might try it again on Switch, as the portable aspect may get me playing it again.
The game is in its twilight as a portion of the game's creators are now working on the pseudo-sequel, Soulframe. But I have over 4,200 hours invested in Warframe. Easily one of my all-time favorites.

Tried it for a bit when I got my switch and while it had promise, It's just too much stuff to throw at a new player and by the time I was getting the hang of it all, I realized I didn't want to continue.
@theModestMouse I never even got the hang of it, it was just too much, but I saw that it was probably a great game if you were there from its beginnings, before all those systems, before the Switch port. I WANTED to get into it, I just couldn't...
Great game. Can’t wait for cross-progression
impressive how much that team cares
@GreatCrippler hmm the last time i played it it ran and looked really good on the switch. it was considered as one of the Impossible ports
