Warframe’s Android rollout begins February 11th! This post aims to inform you on what to expect for the launch, and other questions you may have.
We will continue to update this FAQ through the initial launch period.
Q: What is Warframe's Android release date?
Warframe will launch on the Google Play Store in Canada first on February 11th, then globally on February 18th.
Q: Why is there a split rollout?
In order to provide the best experience for players we have a staggered release rollout. An initial regional launch will ensure that any major concerns are addressed before our global rollout.
Q: Are any countries or regions not in the global launch?
At launch on February 18th, Warframe will be available on Android in all countries and territories that Warframe is presently available on other platforms. For more information on region restrictions, please visit this Forums Post.
Q: How do I access Warframe on Android?
You can access Warframe on Android by going to the Google Play Store. From there, download Warframe on an eligible device, start the app, and follow the on-screen instructions to progress through account setup.
Q: What devices are compatible with Warframe on Android?
Warframe is compatible with devices running 64-bit Android on an ARM64 processor, Android OS 12.0 or higher, minimum 4GB of RAM.
* If you are experiencing device related issues, don’t hesitate to create a post on the Android Forums to let us know. Please include device name, and screenshots or video whenever possible.
Q: As a returning or current player can I access my Warframe account on Android?
Yes. Upon creating an account on Android, you can visit the Account Management page on the Warframe Website to link your Warframe Android account to your Cross Platform Save account.
Cross Platform Save setup instructions can be found in the Cross Platform Save Guide.
Q: Will all Warframe features be available on Android?
Yes, the Android version of Warframe is the same content build as the public build of Warframe and features all of the content up to the latest build (Vauban Heirloom update at the time of launch). After launch, Warframe on Android will follow the same update cadence as all other platforms.
Q: What is the total install size on Android?
The total app size is roughly 14 GB. There is an initial install from the Google Play Store of roughly 4 GB. Once installed, players can experience the “Tutorial” covering the Awakening Quest through to the Vor’s Prize Quest. Upon completing Vor’s Prize (or setting up Cross Platform Save), you will be prompted to download the remaining game data. This will be an additional 10 GB approximately.
Q: What languages are supported on Android?
Warframe on Android has localization in all 14 languages that Warframe currently supports. Your device language determines what localization of Warframe you will experience. As long as your device language is supported then you will be able to experience Warframe in that language. If you wish to change the language, it must be done from your device's settings.
Languages supported: English, French, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Korean, Japanese, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, and Thai.
Q: How Do I Claim Android Launch Rewards?
Any player who logs in on Android from February 11th to March 4th will receive the Cumulus Collection via Inbox Message. This assortment of cosmetics and boosters is perfect for new players starting their journey or for current players looking for a little extra pizazz. The collection includes:
* Please note that the Resource Booster will begin immediately after it has been claimed from your inbox.
Brand new players can claim the launch reward via an Inbox Message after completing the Awakening Quest. Within Options, Communications, Inbox, you will find a message with the rewards attached. For returning players, after completing the Cross Platform Save setup, you will receive the Inbox Message.
Q: How do touch screen controls work?
The touch control UI from the iOS version of Warframe is the same used on the Android version. This includes all improvements since the iOS launch, such as multi-touch and the “Unified Movement” option that combines jump, slide, and bullet jump into a single button.
For a touch control overview, check out the Mobile Touch Control Guide.
Q: Can I use an external controller?
Yes, you can sync up a compatible controller to your Android device. Compatibility may vary depending on device type, but generally, bluetooth wireless gamepads (DualSense, Xbox Wireless Controllers, 8BitDo, etc) and USB peripherals (Razer Kishi, Backbone) are compatible.
* Please note that some controllers may experience unexpected behavior during use. Our team is continuing to investigate and resolve this issue. A list of Known Issues can be found here.
Q: Can I use keyboard and mouse?
Keyboard and Mouse support is not available on Android at this time.
Q: Where do I go if I have questions about my account or transactions?
Our Support team is ready and available to help should you have any issues with your account or any transactions.
Q: Where can I share feedback or join fellow Android Tenno?
You are more than welcome to share feedback and your experience with Warframe on Android via our Official Forums. When Android launches, a new channel in the Official Warframe Discord will also be opened for discussion. Both spaces are great ways to connect with other Tenno, as well as the development team, to make the Android experience the best it can be.
