Questions
Is there a Mac version of Warframe?
Not the PC version. Warframe on PC is Windows only. Warframe Mobile does run on Apple silicon Macs, but it is built for touch and does not take a keyboard and mouse. Walter runs the full PC version and streams it to your browser.
What about CrossOver or Boot Camp?
CrossOver and the Game Porting Toolkit can run the Windows version on some Macs. Both take setup and a large download, and Warframe patches often.
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 MacBook Air?
Yes. Warframe runs on Walter’s machine, so an Air plays it the same as a Pro. Your connection counts for more than your Mac. Sit close to the router.
Which controls work?
Keyboard and mouse, or a controller.
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.
