Ending Support for the Nintendo Switch Version of Warframe on the Nintendo Switch 2

Starting today with Voruna Prime Hotfix #8, all Nintendo Switch 2 players will be required to use the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Warframe in order to continue playing and having access to the game on their console. As we announced in our PSA about the Nintendo Switch 2 version, this means that the original Nintendo Switch version of Warframe is no longer supported on the Switch 2 console, and you should uninstall that version. 

The Nintendo Switch 2 version takes advantage of the console’s hardware improvements and offers a variety of enhancements for your playing experience. Don’t delay! Faster load times, crisper visuals, richer audio, and so much more await you on the Nintendo Switch 2 version.  

Removal of the Screenshot and Video Recording Feature
We have disabled the screenshot feature on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 consoles, in addition to Video Recording on the Nintendo Switch 2 (a feature already unavailable on the Nintendo Switch). This is a game-wide change, but we are exploring if we can re-enable the Screenshot feature in Captura — we will update you in a future post if the state of this feature changes.

Changes

• Updated Sickening Pulse's description to make its mechanics clearer.

• Added the Community Customizations from Prime Time 470 and 478 for Oberon, Mirage, Equinox, Chroma, and Hydroid.
