About Warframe

Warframe is Digital Extremes’ free-to-play third-person action game, originally released in 2013 and still in active development well over a decade later. Players control Tenno pilots wearing customizable biomechanical suits called Warframes, fighting across space stations, planets and open-world zones with fast, mobility-driven combat.

The game is available on PC (Windows), PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, with new Warframes, weapons and story content added on a regular ongoing schedule. Warframe is genuinely free-to-play — everything is earnable through play — but it’s also become famous for a steep, unusually opaque early learning curve, since well over a decade of accumulated systems (mods, Focus, the Star Chart, open-world zones, and more) are all still active and layered on top of each other for new players to work through.
