Nintenno,

We have a maintenance Update slated tentatively for this Thursday, May 19th. Though it will not be your typical Update! This will mainly be a back-end change on the Switch to reclaim our Hotfix space. While it does reclaim our back-end Hotfix space, this Update is also a soft-shader remaster which means it will be a large download (6954MiB or 7.29 GB) but once it has downloaded the overall size of Warframe on the Switch will be reduced by roughly 2 GB! Please ensure you have 7.29GB free on your Switch before downloading the Update.

This will bring us up to the same spot as the other consoles, so we will be able to Hotfix alongside them as usual. Keep in mind this update is purely backend, there won’t be anything of note content wise, but we will give you a Red Text heads up when we are ready to deploy it!

For a brief explanation as to the why we need to reclaim our Hotfix space:

We only have a limited amount of space on the Switch that we can use to Hotfix (480 mb), so occasionally we will need to reclaim that space. It resets each time we send a build to Cert, which is why we don’t run into this situation often! We weren’t sure if we would max out our limit before sending the next scheduled build to Cert (which you can learn more about in our “Next Update Post-Angels of the Zariman” announcement), which is why we’re reclaiming some space in the next few days.

Thanks everyone!
