Warframe for Android launches on February 18, Switch 2 version launched Q1 2026 with 1080p 60fps support

In its first Devstream of 2026, Digital Extremes announced that Warframe will be available on Android devices starting February 18th. They also shared that the version of the game for the new Switch 2 will run at 1080p resolution with a smooth 60 frames per second, and unveiled their upcoming update, titled The Shadowgrapher.

Warframe’s new update, The Shadowgrapher, arrives on all platforms in March. The game is also coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 in early 2026, offering 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second whether played on a TV or in handheld mode. The Switch 2 version will also include mouse support, enhanced graphics, and other improvements. After these releases, Warframe will be playable on every current gaming platform, and players will be able to continue their progress and play with others across all systems.
