Questions
Can I install Warframe on a Chromebook?
Not the PC version. Warframe on PC is Windows only, and ChromeOS cannot install it. Warframe Mobile is built for phones and touch. Walter runs the full PC version and streams it to Chrome.
What about Steam for Chromebook or Linux mode?
Steam for Chromebook, a beta that ran some Linux games, ended on 1 January 2026. What is left is streaming.
Is Warframe free on Walter?
Warframe is free on Steam, and playing it on Walter is free during the early alpha. You need a Steam account, which costs nothing.
Does it work on a cheap Chromebook?
Yes. Warframe runs on Walter’s machine, so a basic Chromebook plays it the same as a gaming one. Your connection counts for more than your laptop.
Which controls work?
Keyboard and mouse, or the touchpad.
Do I keep my progress?
Yes. You sign in with your own Steam account inside the game window, so your progress, items and friends are the ones you already have.
Will it lag?
That depends on how far you are from the nearest Walter machine. Within 500km it plays like a rig under your desk. Further out you feel it in a shooter. The coverage page on walter.gg shows where the machines are.
Can I always play right away?
Not always. Walter is in early alpha and there are only so many machines. On a busy evening they can all be taken, and then you wait or come back later.
