Warframe Launches on Android in Canada First, Global Release Set for February 18, 2026
Warframe is officially expanding its platform footprint again, with Digital Extremes rolling out the long awaited Android version today through a Canada first release strategy, before going global next week on February 18, 2026. For a live service title that has consistently proven it can scale content, systems, and community support across multiple ecosystems, this is a meaningful milestone that puts Warframe in an even stronger position to meet players wherever they want to play.
Digital Extremes is framing the Canada only availability window as a deliberate prioritization move, giving Canadian players early access to the new Android platform before it arrives worldwide on the Google Play Store. From an operations standpoint, this also functions as a controlled rollout that can help the team validate performance, stability, and account linking flows at scale ahead of the global surge, while still delivering a player friendly message that aligns with the studio’s Canadian roots.
On the feature side, the Android version is arriving with full cross play support across Android, iOS, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 devices when it launches on Nintendo Switch 2. In parallel, it includes full cross platform save support, meaning your progression can move seamlessly across devices. For players who bounce between console, PC style controls, and mobile convenience, this is the kind of ecosystem flexibility that keeps a live service game sticky, especially when content cadence is the primary retention engine.
Technical requirements are clearly defined. To run Warframe on Android, you will need a device running 64 bit Android OS 12.0 or higher on an ARM64 processor, with a minimum of 4GB of RAM. This baseline suggests Digital Extremes is targeting broad modern device coverage while still protecting gameplay stability and performance expectations, which matters in a fast paced action RPG where latency, frame pacing, and input responsiveness are core to the experience.
To drive early adoption, Digital Extremes is also offering Android exclusive rewards through a limited time login incentive. Players who sign in on Android before March 4, 2026 will receive the Cumulus Collection, which includes a special weapon and armor cosmetics, plus resource boosters designed to accelerate early progression on mobile.
Warframe has long been a reference point for how to run a live service game with high production value, player respect, and a durable content loop. With Android now coming online, the key success metric will be whether performance and cross platform continuity feel as smooth as they do on other platforms, because frictionless account and progression continuity is what turns curiosity installs into long term daily play.
Are you planning to jump into Warframe on Android, and if so, will it become your main platform or your on the go companion for cross platform progression?
