Warframe Mobile Update: June 2024

Hello (Mobile) Tenno,

We released Warframe on iOS a little over three months ago, and I’d like to share an update on it and our future Android plans.

TL;DR: The iOS version needs a lot of love right now. That love will make the eventual Android version all the better. So, first, we are focusing the mobile team on addressing iOS fundamentals before moving on to our Android version. So Android Tenno, I know it sucks to wait more, but these improvements are crucial to making that wait worthwhile.

To our iOS players, thank you for playing and for your patience. While we have seen many positive comments and are very proud of what we have accomplished squeezing the game onto a phone… we’re not there yet. Too often, we see fundamental technical issues holding the experience back: ‘Can’t install’, ‘UI cutoff on iPad’, ‘Connection failed’ or ‘Hitching bad’.

So, it is time to narrow the mobile team’s focus.

We will accelerate our release cadence on iOS in the coming weeks and shift focus from ‘literally everywhere’ to the crucial first moments of the iOS experience: installer issues, controls, and performance. We expect this shift to be temporary and annoying for some but crucial to advancing the quality of the core game on iOS. Be aware that this shift may be a temporary detriment to late-game features, so we’re hoping you’ll be patient with us.

Thank you, iOS Tenno. We’d love to hear from you, particularly if you have installation, connectivity, controls, and performance problems. Give us an earful here: Mobile Bugs Subforum.

-Steve

PS: We intend to maintain Cross Platform Play functionality and apply crucial hotfixes. If this changes, we will notify you well in advance.

Is there a time-line, when to expect having warframe on Android? 

We do not have a timeline at this moment, as improving the iOS experience is the top goal of our mobile development. Thanks!
