Warframe is a very popular online third-person shooter role-playing game that is available on platforms such as PC, PlayStation, Xbox, or Switch. You can definitely enjoy the fast-paced action that the game offers its players. Each player wears an exoskeleton called a Warframe (with its own set of skills and characteristics) and is equipped with three types of weapons: primary weapons (such as rifles, shotguns, sniper weapons, rigs, bows, and more), secondary weapons (pistols, submachine guns, kunai, shurikens, rigs, and more), and melee weapons (swords, paired swords, knives, axes, scythes, boomerangs, gloves, and more). Players are given fusion points, which are the equivalent of experience for killing enemies, completing tasks and missions, to upgrade their weapons and armor.
One of the benefits of online play is the option to complete various Warframe missions with friends. Two or more players can go through a crucible of enemies, running and shooting along the way. So, here is how to add friends on a Warframe.
Does Warframe support Crossplay
Before starting the game, you have to be aware that although Warframe is a cross-platform game, it does not support Crossplay. This means that if you have the game installed on your PC, you can play only with PC gamers. The same goes for consoles. The PlayStation users can’t play with Xbox or Nintendo users and vice versa.
However, the game does allow one small workaround. You can transfer your account once from one platform to another. In doing so, your account isn’t deleted from the original platform but copied to the new one. Essentially, you create a second account with similar game progress.
How to add a friend on a Warframe using navigation menu
The option to add a friend on a Warframe will only be available after completing the first two missions of the game. The first mission is a tutorial that gives you access to your ship, and the second mission opens the navigation menu.

- First of all, press the “Esc” button on your keyboard or the “Start” button on your controller to open the menu.
