It’s been a long time coming, butWarframeis about to offer players a chance to merge multiple platform accounts into one. This will allowthose who playedWarframeacross several different platformsto combine their inventories and progression into one account. But, there are some caveats in place.
Notably,Warframedeveloper Digital Extremes has providedan explanationof how the game’s account merging/transfer feature will work. To begin with, it’s a one-and-done sort of deal, where you’ll need to carefully define which of your accounts is the main, and which ones would be secondary to it. This is important because the choice dictates the specifics of what’s getting carried over into your universalWarframecross-platform account, and you donotwant to loseyour valuable content rosterhere.
One-time Warframe account merge explained
Digital Extremes has been working oncross-platform save and progression forWarframefor years at this point, and the fact that the feature is about to roll out is phenomenal news. There’s some complexity present here, however, and it’s certainly worth getting through the process correctly.
Firstly, only accounts made before July 21, 2025, will be eligible forWarframe‘s account merge. Secondly, players who want to go through with the merge will need to select one of theirWarframeplatform accounts as the ‘Primary Account,’ which will carry over Quest and Mission progress. All of your otherWarframeplatform accounts will be designed as ‘Secondary’ from that point onwards, and when you roll them into your Primary, you will receive their respective Items, Customizations, Resources, and Currencies only.
This is, naturally, a one-time process. Once you’ve merged your accounts, there won’t be a way to access the disparate platform profiles anymore. Instead, you’ll be able to continue progressingWarframecross-platform at your own behest. You can check yourWarframeaccount merge eligibilityat the official websiteright now.
What items are not being merged?
There aresome other caveatsto keep in mind here, and they’ve got to do with platform-exclusive skins and Platinum. It would seem that all of the following skins will not be accessible on PlayStation:
Conversely, the PlayStation-exclusiveWarframeObsidian Skins will not be available on any platforms other than PlayStation. And, similarly, all of the following PC-exclusive skins will remain accessible only on PC:
Finally, Digital Extremes has also confirmed that the legendary Excalibur Prime, Skana Prime, and Lato Prime will stay locked to the PC.
In regard toWarframe‘s premium currency, any Platinum purchased on Nintendo Switch will remain permanently locked to the Switch. While items purchased using the Nintendo Switch Platinum will be readily accessible on any other platform after the merge, the currency itself won’t be going with you across different platforms.
TennoGen items complicate things further
Setting aside Digital Extremes’ own premium cosmetics and currencies, there’s the TennoGen community content to take into consideration as well. These items are specific in that they will be affected by the cross-platform transition in a unique way: “Any TennoGen purchases made before November 24 at 2 p.m. ET will transfer to any platform as a result of the One-Time Account Merge. That means that the pieces that are already a part of your collection will be available to you on any platform you play on,” says the announcement. “TennoGen purchases after November 24 at 2 p.m. ET will be affected depending on the platform it was purchased on. Steam purchases are locked to PC, and console purchases will be locked to all (licensed) console platforms.”
This, according to Digital Extremes, has been done to “limit the impact to TennoGen artists, while respecting historical console purchases.”
