Another platform, another great launch as it quickly became the most played title on the PlayStation Network.
The timed-exclusive deal has now passed as Warframe becomes the first every free-to-play titles published under the ID@Xbox program. It’s a unique support system that offers independent developers like Digital Extremes the opportunity to expose their games to a massive audience through an accessible self-publishing program.

has been a labor of love for our team for over a decade,” said Steve
Sinclair, creative director at Digital Extremes. “We believed in this
concept when no one else did and it’s so satisfying to see the
incredible reception it’s received from the gaming world — and now with
the Xbox One launch it will just keep getting better.”
Warframe will utilize many of the most defining features of the Xbox One including social connectivity between the community, game DVR for easily accessible recording and publishing of your greatest moments, and second screen functionality with SmartGlass support on the Warframe Nexus App on Windows, iOS and Android.
