Not everyone was able to bridge the divide in 2023.

One of the big bucket list items for Warframe in 2023 was the much-anticipated launch of cross-save functionality. While Digital Extremes did succeed in bringing the system to the live game, at least partially, it was quickly disabled, leaving Tenno to wonder when it’ll return.

Starting with an attempted rollout for Founders on Dec. 14, the Cross Platform Save system underwent some stress tests throughout the month. The gates finally closed on Dec. 22, but not before over 100,000 players had already made use of the feature, according to creative director Rebecca Ford. During this time, issues with stability and unexpected bugs prevented the feature from getting a widespread, permanent launch.

Here’s what we know about when Warframe’s cross-save feature will return in 2024 and what to expect when it goes live.

Warframe’s Cross Platform Save feature has been brought back online as of Jan. 16. While it’s still operating in a “stress test style,” according to the announcement, cross-save is available to everyone while it’s live. But Digital Extremes also said it’s “actively monitoring” the test and may need to close the gates again for stability’s sake.

The developers delayed to make sure they had ample time to provide the necessary fixes to the feature. As Ford explained, the team was finding “at least one major issue” with the system being reported on a per-hour basis while it was live last month, which ended up being a key factor in the cross-save stress test window being closed. When cross save was opened up to all Tenno on Dec. 22, it also temporarily brought down Warframe’s operations for a brief period—a scaling issue that has since been addressed.

Warframe will continue to communicate when Cross Platform Save is available and when it needs to be brought offline for further maintenance. While it’s clear that the issues with the system are steadily being ironed out, Digital Extremes continues to treat the release as a “staggered phase” project, meaning it may still be some time until it’s permanently opened.

A mobile version of Warframe is also tentatively slated for a release in February on iOS,, it’s as of yet unconfirmed whether or not the mobile version will be included within the cross-save functionality.
