What do you mean by Cross Platform Save?
Cross Platform Save functionality allows players to use their Warframe account Progression and Items from a single Cross Platform Save Account across multiple different gaming platforms. Progression includes things like Quests, Syndicate ranks, Focus, Intrinsics, Helminth unlocks and currently active Kuva Liches or Sisters of Parvos.

What is a Cross Platform Save Account?
This simply refers to any Warframe account that has undergone Linking in order to connect two or more accounts for use in Cross Platform Save.

What is Account Linking?
Linking will allow you to select one Warframe account as your Primary Account. You may use the progress and purchases of that Warframe account back and forth across multiple different platforms.

For example, a player may mark their PC account as the Primary Account and Link it to their PlayStation account. The PC progress will permanently override the existing PlayStation account, resulting in a Warframe Cross Platform Save account that can be used on both PC and PlayStation.

Note that Account Linking is permanent. Once a unified Warframe Cross Platform Save Account is created, you will no longer be able to access any Linked accounts’ progress or Inventory aside from those of the Primary Account.

As of 6/19/2024, items purchased with real money are added to the Primary Account during the Linking process. Accounts linked prior to this date will apply this change retroactively. Accounts affected retroactively will receive an Inbox message indicating that these purchases have been added to their Primary Account. Learn more about these changes on the forums.

What do I need to do before connecting my Warframe accounts?
You must first have or create a PC Warframe account. From there, you will be able to Link one account at a time to that PC account, turning it into a Cross Platform Save Account. Additional platforms can then be Linked to this Cross Platform Save Account, one platform at a time, until all desired accounts are connected.

While a PC account is a necessary component in creating a Cross Platform Save Account, you do not need to download or play Warframe on PC in order to use your Cross Platform Save Account.

How many accounts can I connect?
You can only Link up to one account from each platform into your Cross Platform Save Account from Account Management. You can access your Cross Platform Save Account on any platform. This includes PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch and iOS. The Android version of Warframe will also be compatible upon its release.

Are there any restrictions for Linking?
There are no restrictions for Linking Warframe accounts.

Are premium purchases affected in other ways?
Account Linking maintains the progress and previously acquired Items of your Primary Account, including premium purchases. Premium Purchases of a Secondary Account which fit the following criteria are also maintained:

• TennoGen purchased on PC with Real Money via Steam
• Prime Access purchased with Real Money (Minus their Platinum and Boosters)
• Heirloom Packs purchased with Real Money (Minus their Platinum)
• Bundles purchased with Real Money or claimed through Prime Gaming, PlayStation Plus, or Game Pass (Minus their Credits, Platinum, and Boosters)

For more details about which Premium Purchases of Secondary Accounts are maintained, you can view our Forums Post.

How are my TennoGen Items affected by Cross Platform Save?
TennoGen purchases will be affected depending on the platform it was purchased on. Steam PC purchases are available on PC, and Non-PC (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Mobile) purchases will be available across all (licensed) Non-PC platforms.

Our intention with these decisions is to limit the impact to TennoGen Artists, while respecting historical console purchases. For more details, refer to our TennoGen – Cross Platform Save Forum post.

Can I trade across platforms?
Yes, you are able to trade with players on different platforms regardless of your Cross Platform Save status. Trading will function the same as gifting (ie. Personal Platinum cannot be used to Trade with or Gift items to players), except for trading Platinum between Nintendo Switch and other platforms, which is not available.

As of October 2024, players are able to trade with friends or fellow Tenno across platforms with little restriction, provided you have Cross Platform Play enabled via your in-game settings. For PC and Cross Platform Save players, TennoGuard 2FA is required to trade in-game items with fellow Tenno in Warframe, which can be enabled via the Account Management page.

*PC accounts can automatically trade with players on other platforms — provided that both players still have Cross Platform Play enabled in their settings and that any non-PC player trading with them has a Cross Platform Save Account.

How will I know if I have successfully Linked my accounts?
You should receive a confirmation popup message that confirms your accounts have been successfully Linked. You will also be able to see your Cross Platform Save Account status in your Account Management page.

What platforms currently support Cross Platform Save?
At the launch of this update, every available version of Warframe supports Cross Platform Save. This includes PC, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Nintendo Switch, and Mobile.

Will my personal data be processed after I download?

What is Account Merging and Why Did it End?
Account Merging was a limited-time feature that allowed accounts created before November 24, 2023 to be Merged, combining the inventory of both accounts. Due to it being a more complex feature requiring active developer updates as we release new content for Warframe, and due to a declining number of eligible accounts that haven't Merged, we retired this feature on January 17, 2025.

Can I still participate in Cross Platform Save after January 17, 2025?
Yes! Players can still engage in Cross Platform Save via Account Linking, which will remain in perpetuity. While eligible accounts will no longer be able to be Merged, players can pick a Main Warframe Account and use it across all linked platforms!
