You do NOT have to back-up your data before the update. You do NOT need to delete Warframe before the update. This will appear no different from any other update, business as usual! It will download in the background as is expected with all main title updates. It is important to note that since this affects existing assets, Warframe will be re-downloaded in its entirety.
When the update goes live, Warframe will go from 48 GB to roughly 29 GB after it has been fully downloaded again! When we do this, we free up space that ultimately reduces the overall size of Warframe on your PS4’s HDD.
Warframe on PS4 is not only getting Revised, but reduced (in size that is)! For those unfamiliar with the remastering process, when we launch a remaster update we are essentially doing a big cache cleanup to optimize old and existing assets. Now let's get into what you can expect with the first Mainline update of 2020! Please take the time to review the information below to familiarize yourself with the coming changes - big and small. However you play Warframe, it’s likely the ‘Warframe Revised’ Update will touch some part of the game for you. Depending on where you are in your Warframe journey, you may notice big or small changes once it has gone live. That said, things may feel a little different this Update. We have grabbed everything from Hotfix 27.1.1 - 27.2.2, which of course includes the “Review, Revise, Refresh” Warframe Revised update.
The first Mainline update of 2020 on PS4 is in Cert! You can expect those changes in your next Update! We would also like to clarify that the Impact, Gas, and Kuva Lich Status Changes mentioned on Devstream #140 will not be in this Update. Warframe Revised: Update 27.2.2 has passed Cert and is launching TODAY at ~11 a.m. We hope you enjoy all that Warframe Revised has brought!
Reminder now that the update is live that it is a Remaster, and Warframe will need to be re-downloaded in its entirety to bring it from 48 GB to 29 GB! This will appear no different from any other update, business as usual! It will download in the background as is expected with all main title updates.
