The popular free-to-play, third-person action game Warframe comes to Xbox One later this year for Xbox Live Gold subscribers.

Developer Digital Extremes made the news official during last week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles, releasing a new trailer to promote the game’s expansion beyond the PC and PlayStation 4 gaming communities and into the world of Xbox One. In a press release announcing the move, Digital Extremes credited the arrival of Warframe on Xbox One to the “ID@Xbox” campaign, which streamlines the process of publishing independently developed games on the console.

“Bringing Warframe to Xbox One is a no-brainer,” said Steve Sinclair, creative director at Digital Extremes, in a statement accompanying the announcement. “Our players have been asking for Warframe since the debut of the console and with the ID@Xbox Program, now we can make it happen. Having the freedom to develop and publish Warframe on our own terms is the true definition of independence to us. Warframe is a passion project for our team and building it alongside our players is a reality now with digital distribution.”

In Warframe, players take control of ninja-like warriors that don powerful, upgradeable exoskeletons in order to do battle, engage in missions, or simply explore the game’s wide-reaching sci-fi universe. Progress through various elements of the game allows players to find or unlock artifacts that can be used to customize or upgrade their “Warframe” suits. Players can team up in groups or fight solo in the world of Warframe, with a variety of offensive and defensive abilities available for players’ suits.

While there’s no date specified for the arrival of Warframe on Xbox One, Digital Extremes indicated that the move will happen before the end of 2014. Along with the move itself, the developer shed some light on a few additional elements that will accompany the game’s arrival on Xbox One. Game DVR will make it possible to record and share in-game sequences with friends, while second-screen functionality will be available for Windows Phone, iOS, and Android devices via the Warframe Nexus App. The app will serve as a database of information for players, as well provide alerts regarding in-game events and other updates.

Digital Extremes also released a preview video for the arrival of Warframe on Xbox One, which you can watch below:

E3 needed to end, but its demise is a net negative for the gaming industry

It's official: E3 is dead.

For over two decades, the Electronic Entertainment Expo was the video game industry's most important event. For enthusiastic gamers, it was Christmas and the Super Bowl rolled into one trailer-full event. It served a more important role on the business side, as it was a key way for smaller developers to get their games seen and make deals with publishers. Now, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced it's formally retiring the once powerful event for good. It is, quite literally, the end of an era.

One of the year’s biggest sleeper hits is now on Xbox Game Pass
Three characters shoot at a boss in Remnant 2.

We've learned about which games are coming to Xbox Game Pass between now and December 15, and it's an awesome batch. Some titles are hitting Microsoft's subscription service the day they launch over the next couple of weeks, but the biggest standout in this group of games is one of 2023's biggest sleeper hits: Remnant 2 from Gunfire Games and Gearbox Entertainment. The best part is that it hit the service today.

Remnant II is a multiversal Soulslike shooter that was released on PC and consoles in July. Although it flew under the radar before release, Remnant II was a surprise hit, selling 2 million copies within two months of launch. In particular, we praised the game's compelling boss design as well as its first DLC pack for going bigger and bolder in scope. It's also a looter shooter with rougelite elements, so if you're looking for a new game that will keep you engaged for dozens of hours during the holidays, this sleeper hit is a great choice. Its predecessor, 2019's Remnant: From the Ashes, is also available via Xbox Game Pass now if you want to see where this series began.
