Set in the far reaches of outer space during a new Dark Age, WarFrame introduces the Tenno, a race on the brink of extinction after being enslaved by the Grineer for centuries. Players enter WarFrame on the cusp of the Grineer's victory over the Tenno until they begin to arm themselves with WarFrames - an ancient exo-skeletal technology only they can operate. Hidden within the Orokin Derelicts of a lost civilization, new WarFrames lie dormant and undiscovered. These artifacts are the Tenno's only hope for survival.
WarFrame is a free-to-play fast-action PvE shooter set in an evolving sci-fi world. Some would call it MMO-Lite as squads of four players band together to advance their characters and battle the oppression of the genocidal Grineer. Throughout their combat missions, players will continually increase the power and abilities of their WarFrame and weapons. Players will raid new areas of space searching for exotic and powerful weapons and WarFrame augmentations to customize their arsenal. With WarFrame's Automatic Mission Generator, the game will offer endless replay as levels are procedurally configured for a unique raid -- every time.
Digital Extremes will usher in a new age for Warframe on PS5 starting November 26, 2020, and later on Xbox Series X.
From a single tileset and four Warframes in 2013 to 18 planets, three open worlds, 30 Quests, and 44 Warframes today, Warframe’s 60 million players will soon have the opportunity to experience the Origin System in an all new light.
Taking full advantage of the power of next-gen consoles, Warframe will run at up to 4K resolution and 60fps. Drastically improved loading times will zip players into the action as fast as possible, creating a seamless experience from player-filled towns to massive Open Worlds.
The all new Enhanced Renderer introduces dynamic lighting in unprecedented ways to Warframe. From the neon underbelly of Fortuna, to our newest landscape on the Infested moon of Deimos... there’s no better place to see the stunning differences. The light from the sun now casts long shadows through the trees, foliage creates dynamic shadows as players stalk through it, and the reflections of the dense Cetus market can be seen across each Warframe as they stroll through.
A game-wide texture remaster adds new levels of detail and enhanced color throughout the experience and reduces the space Warframewill take up on players’ hard drive!
Squad Up With Cross-Generation Play
This new hardware generation also elevates cooperative team-play by giving squads around the world one of their most desired features: cross-generation play!
For PS4 and PS5 owners, this means Tenno will be able to move seamlessly between platforms, playing with teammates regardless if they’re on PS4 or PS5. Gamers’ profiles and their progress will be saved and will follow them as they move onto PS5.
Activities, Next-Gen Controls & More On PS5
The next generation of Warframe also takes advantage of many of the new and unique features of the PS5.
Progress Activities will show you exactly how close you are to earning a Trophy, while Challenge Activities will get you right into the action with no need to load the game. The first will be a Sanctuary Onslaught Challenge, with more to come!
At launch using the PS5’s Adaptive Triggers, players will experience the impact of every shot fired with each trigger pull, bringing a new level of immersion and thrill to your actions without comprising the tight, fast, fluid and responsive controls that you can only get in Warframe.
In the future, as Digital Extremes explores Sony’s advanced Haptic technology, it aims to further immerse the player with unique vibration patterns that match in-game environments: from feeling the cold snow crunch under your feet on Venus in contrast to the soft-footing of a dusty Mars settlement!

PS5 and PS4 owners can celebrate the next generation by downloading the free, exclusive Warframe: PlayStation Plus Booster Pack (an approximately $30 value) to get started.
