Come Tenno, you must join the war.!

But additionally, the game will support Nintendo Switch Pro Controllers and Save Data Cloud Backups.

## [](#why-is-the-file-size-a-thing)Why is the file-size a thing?

While the 12.2 GB file size may seem hefty, it’s actually a far cry from the 20-40 GB required on other consoles that Warframe runs on.

Let’s hope Panic Button managed to maintain the game’s visual and audio quality in the process but judging by the other ports they have taken care of we are good on that front really.
