Cross Platform Save addresses a different need: it lets players access their progression and items across multiple platforms. Linking requires a primary account and becomes permanent. You must therefore choose carefully which progression to keep before confirming.

Warframe crossplay dates back to November 30, 2022

Crossplay launched on November 30, 2022, alongside the release of Lua’s Prey. This date concerns play between platforms and does not correspond to the arrival of Cross Platform Save.

The launch announcement named PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. The current official guide also mentions Mobile for crossplay missions, but that current mention does not allow Mobile to be added to the list announced in 2022.

Compatible platforms should be checked in the current official documentation.

How to enable crossplay and invite a friend

  1. Open Warframe’s Options menu.
  2. Find the Cross Platform Play setting.
  3. Enable it on your platform.
  4. Ask your friend to check the same setting.
  5. Form the squad, then start the mission.

Public matchmaking uses the same setting. If the squad does not form, check this option before changing the accounts.

The Dojo follows a specific sequence: for a cross-platform squad, enter the Dojo first, then invite the other players. This step prevents a blockage at the Dojo entrance.

Before sending an invitation, check the Cross Platform Play setting on every account.

Cross Platform Save: linking is permanent

Cross Platform Save concerns progression and items. It requires linked accounts and a primary account.

The primary account’s progression permanently replaces the linked account’s progression. Linking is permanent. This process should therefore not be used to solve a simple invitation problem.

The official Cross Platform Save page is dated November 24, 2023. This date concerns the save-system documentation, while the crossplay launch remains set at November 30, 2022.
