The much-anticipated release of Warframe on the Nintendo Switch 2 has gamers buzzing with excitement, even if it means waiting a bit longer than initially hoped. The developers at Digital Extremes have assured fans that the delay will ultimately lead to a more refined and immersive gaming experience on the new console.
Warframe’s Arrival on Nintendo Switch 2
Digital Extremes recently announced during a livestream that Warframe will make its debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2026. Although some may have hoped for a release by the end of 2025, the team is focused on ensuring the game launches as early as possible in the new year. This approach aims to deliver an optimal version of the beloved game on the next-generation Nintendo console.
New Features: A Glimpse into the Future
During the livestream, fans got a sneak peek at the game’s progress, with new footage showcasing Warframe running on the Nintendo Switch 2 in handheld mode, enhanced by NVIDIA DLSS technology. While specific details such as resolution and frame rate remain under wraps, the visuals already appear promising. Enthusiasm is building for what promises to be a superior gaming experience.
Options for Eager Players
For those who simply can’t wait, there’s always the option to play the existing Warframe release on the current Nintendo Switch via backward compatibility. However, to enjoy the game at its full potential, players will likely want to hold out for the enhanced version on the Nintendo Switch 2. Patience, in this case, might just lead to a more rewarding gaming adventure.
