How co-op works

Up to four cross-platform Tenno share most Star Chart missions, bounties, open-world activities, bosses, and Railjack sorties; major cinematic quests may remain solo. Each brings an independently configured Warframe and weapons, combining crowd control, damage, support, and revives while keeping personal resources and progression.

About this game

Warframe drops you into the armor of an ancient warrior known as a Tenno, armed with advanced weaponry and devastating abilities. This free-to-play online action game lets you squad up with other players to take on story missions, explore open-world zones, and battle through procedurally generated levels. The cooperative structure encourages players to combine abilities and cover each other as threats escalate.

Warframe supports online co-op for up to four players and includes cross-platform multiplayer, so you can team up with friends across different systems. Sessions range from quick 10-minute strikes to extended raids that demand voice communication and role coordination, making it ideal for groups that enjoy long-term progression and tactical teamwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can team up in Warframe?

Warframe supports online co-op for up to four players in a squad. You can team up with friends across different platforms thanks to cross-platform multiplayer support.

Is Warframe actually free, or do I need to pay to progress?

Warframe is genuinely free-to-play. You can unlock new Warframes, weapons, and mods through gameplay without spending money. The game does include optional in-app purchases if you want to speed up progression or buy cosmetics, but they're not required to enjoy the full experience.

Do I need voice chat to play Warframe with friends?

For most missions, voice chat isn't required-standard co-op play works fine with just teamwork and covering each other. However, extended raids and higher-level content benefit from voice communication for role coordination and tactical planning.

How long are typical co-op sessions in Warframe?

Mission length varies quite a bit. Quick strike missions can be completed in around 10 minutes, making them perfect for short sessions. On the other end, extended raids and open-world activities can take much longer and are better suited for dedicated play sessions with your squad.
