Hello!
The team has made the decision to launch the Enhanced Graphics Engine and set it as the default for last-gen consoles, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with the upcoming Citrine’s Last Wish update (coming to all platforms this month) instead of with the future planned Duviri Paradox.
This has been the default Graphics Engine setting for PS5 & Xbox Series X since Warframe’s launch on those platforms, and now we’re bringing last-gen into the fray. Currently, there are in-game visuals that are only available via the Enhanced Graphics Engine, such as wall decals, possible tattoos or facial hair on certain characters (wink wink), etc., and we want to be able to invest in these systems and designs now so that they work for all players.
With Citrine’s Last Wish, we’re also adding 2 new toggles to the Video Options settings (PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X will also be receiving these) to adjust the Enhanced experience and performance for your console:
Sun Shadows
Enables sun shadows, which can be disabled to improve performance.
Enhanced Decals
Enables enhanced decals, which can be disabled to improve performance.
These 2 new options are amongst a lengthy list available to you at any time to enable/disable depending on your game's performance. You can always tweak these options to lessen the load on your machine if needed.

What about Switch?
Getting the Enhanced Graphics Engine for the Nintendo Switch is next on our list! Stay tuned for more information in the future.
