Warframe Dev: We'd Like to Do Cross-Play but It Is One of the Highest-Risk Things We Can Do

The developers of Warframe said they'd like to do cross-play, but it is one of the highest-risk things they could do given the game's nature.

All the versions would have to be in parity for that to happen. However, cross-save is easier and might be more feasible.

Yeah cross play isn't too necessary for Warframe's healthy PvE focused community.

Cross progression would be amazing though. I have over 800 hours of playtime and it would suck if it's stuck on one platform

It would be nice maybe for next gen.

They still have to support PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, I'd like them to do that before thinking about next gen.

No let old systems die, once new ones drop im getting rid of ps4

@Gemmol

let's start with the weakest and worst version to be the first one to die. The Switch version

As long as each platform has an active user base it's ok

in a game lik this would be hard and extra work on the devs to give us cross play, this is not Rocket League but a massive game with tons of updates, imagine rollling all the updates/patches/fixes for all platforms at the same time? Yikes

[quent]

yep, they have separate system dev divisions working on every version contently, hotfixes, content updates,balance patches, promotions and so, all while having to plan and create new content

I freaking wish....most of my friends play the game on pc and i only have a ps4 and all of my precious progress on it.

[starchild]

I hear ya. I play it on PC and two of my friends do too, but my brother in law plays it on Xbox One and my cousin and another friend play it on PS4. It would be nice if we could all play together.

[drizzom]

Please do it. Even if its just cross save. So many of my friends play PC and Im stuck with the PS4 version.

There's one main reason I can see for them not doing this..... Money. PC players can buy the platinum for far cheaper than the console players thanks to the daily login system. Not once have consoles ever had a 75% discount, yet PC players can get it all the time thanks to the daily login.
