There is not yet an exact release date for these innovations. Crossplay and Crosssave also apply specifically to the mobile version that has just been announced.
Warframe Mobile is coming
A version for mobile platforms is currently in work, but so far there is only sparse information. For example is no release date known, not even whether it appears for iOS and Android or whether one of the two is preferred. Or how the fast-paced gameplay should be implemented on a touchscreen. We expect more information to be available later this year and that Warframe Mobile will not be released before 2022.
