Warframe Finally Getting Cross-Platform Save and Android Closed Beta Registration Available Now
Warframe Finally Getting Cross-Platform Save and Android Closed Beta Registration Available Now
Today Warframe developer Digital Extremes had quite a few announcements to share with the community of the popular online game.
Warframe on Android? That game already takes up a shitload of disk space on a PC, how would it fit on anyone's phone?
Most space used by games is taken up by textures and audio. Textures can be downscaled (halving texture resolution reduces the size by 75%) and audio can be resampled at a lower bitrate without the quality drop being too noticeable on tiny phone screens/speakers.
Maps, warframes, weapons and skins will also likely be loaded as needed, so you'll probably start with 20GB but bloat to 60 as you play
Another trick I noticed playing CoD mobile is that they don't load every other player's skin, only the latest. So if your install doesn't have it, it only display's the default skin for other players. Which also mean that the skin you paid 60$ for in the last Season Pass is only visible by a few players.
Really? Looking online, it seems to be taking ~30GB, which isn't much relatively speaking (considering modern AAA games these days can be 100+GB).
Phones nowadays come with 128GB as base option, and typically even offer a 256GB model (eg the Pixel 8). So Warframe shouldn't really be an issue for mobile gamers who typically buy beefier phones than the average.
Now, if only I could get my old PS4 save to be playable on my PC. I haven't had a console in years. :(
That's literally what this is. As long as you have your Sony account login still, you will be able to play your account on PC.
Thanks. I guess I should have said that I hope I don't need a PlayStation to set up the link.
