As announced on Devstream 181, we’re improving the login experience for users that launch Warframe from Steam with the introduction of Account Binding and Auto-Login in the Koumei & The Five Fates update!
This is accurate at the time of writing, if there are any changes they will be reflected in the Koumei & The Five Fates update patch notes.
Account Binding
Account Binding allows a Warframe account to bind to a Steam account, so that upon launching Warframe from Steam you do not need to input your credentials to log in. Instead, clicking the “Login With Steam” button will log you right into the game and bypass this step!
What to Expect:
After Koumei & The Five Fates goes live, when you launch Warframe from Steam and click the “Login With Steam” button you will be prompted to bind your Steam account to either:
An existing Warframe account OR
A new Warframe Account that’ll be automatically bound to the Steam account you are signed into
Binding Existing Warframe Account:
1. Select the “Bind Existing” option to bind an existing Warframe account to the Steam account you are currently logged into.
2. Fill the email and password fields with the credentials associated with the Warframe account you want to bind to the Steam account you are currently logged into and hit “Confirm”.
NOTE: Please check to make sure that you are linking the correct accounts (both your Warframe AND Steam account), as the link cannot be undone.
TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication is required to bind a Warframe account to protect against fraud and prevent someone from binding your Warframe account to the wrong Steam account.
If you have TennoGuard enabled on the Warframe account you are attempting to bind, upon hitting “Confirm” you will be prompted to enter a code that was sent to your email. Once entered, you have completed the account binding process!
Warframe accounts bound to Steam still adhere to the Cross Platform Save restrictions (more details in our FAQ).
This new Account Binding system replaces the Steam Economy binding and operates the same way – meaning, in order to purchase TennoGen from the Steam Store (specifically from the website, in-game Market not impacted), you must bind a Warframe account to a Steam account.
If you have bound a Warframe account to Steam Economy before Koumei & The Five Fates launches, you may encounter the following scenarios depending on the Warframe and Steam accounts you attempt to bind through the new Account Binding system launching the the update (expand spoilers):
Scenario A: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A with Steam Economy, but I go to bind Steam account A to Warframe account B, C, D. etc. after Koumei & The Five Fates launches, I will not be able to, and will receive an error and have to submit a ticket to support. This is because that Steam account is already bound to a Warframe account, and cannot be bound twice.
Scenario B: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A with Steam Economy, but then I go to bind Steam Account B, C, D etc... to Warframe account A after Koumei & The Five Fates launches, I will not be able to, and will receive an error and have to submit a ticket to support. This is because that Warframe account is already bound to a Steam account, and cannot be bound twice.
Scenario C: If I have Steam account A already bound to Warframe account A through Steam Economy before the update next week, I will NOT have issues with the new account binding system after Koumei & The Five Fates launches as long as I am binding Steam Account A to Warframe account A
Note: Other purchases made from the Steam Store do not require you to bind to Steam Economy, only if you had specifically purchased TennoGen.
Creating and Binding New Warframe Account:
Select the “Create New” option to create a new Warframe account that will be bound to the Steam account you are currently logged into.
You will be required to read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use and pick a display name.
NOTE: Creating a new Warframe account via the Steam launcher will automatically bind it to the Steam account you are currently logged into. Please check to make sure you are linking the correct Steam account to the new Warframe account, as the link cannot be undone.
NOTE: It’s important to keep in mind that Account Binding allows anyone to enter your Warframe account by clicking the “Login with Steam” button without having to input your credentials. We recommend that you log out of your Steam account while not in use to ensure account security – more information on how to protect your account in our “Best Practices for Account Security” support article.
Auto Login
Once you have bound a Warframe and Steam account, you will be able to use the new Auto Login feature, which automatically signs you in and loads you into the game immediately after launching Warframe from Steam.
How to Set Up:
It’s as easy as clicking the “Auto Login” checkbox below the “Login With Steam” button!
It can also be enabled/disabled using the “Steam Auto Login” toggle in the Social tab Options:
How to disable Auto Login:
Log out from the Esc menu by going to Profile > Log Out
Go to your Options > Social > Steam Auto Login and toggle off
We’re excited to bring this to our Steam Tenno with the launch of Koumei & The Five Fates!

Devstream 181 was broadcast live from the Event Stage at Tokyo Game Show 2024 and included the full reveal of our next update, Koumei & the Five Fates (along with the release date of next week on October 2!). We also unveiled some new teaser art from our upcoming collaboration with The Line and announced the upcoming release of a new playable Warframe: 1999 demo on October 16.
If you weren't able to join us live, we've compiled some of the stream's most memorable highlights below. For all of the nitty-gritty details, you can also check out our official Devstream Overview.
Koumei & the Five Fates: Coming October 2
With just a few days remaining before launch, Devstream 181 saw the premiere of the Koumei & the Five Fates Official Gameplay Trailer:
58th Warframe: Koumei
Test your luck with the Dice-Maiden, Tenno! Koumei weaves fate to unleash damage and ensure her survival. To the virtuous, she is an oracle. To the wicked, a perilous game of chance.
Passive: Fate selects one of her weapons to impart randomized status effects when dealing damage. This passive effect swaps to another weapon after a duration.
Important Note: as the Dice-Maiden, Koumei rolls 5 Dice for each Ability cast, which impacts each Ability in its own way.
First Ability: Kumihimo Weaves the threads of Destiny. Enemies who touch these threads suffer a random Status Effect.
Rolling three 6s on her Dice will spawn Threads that deal every Status Effect on contact.
Second Ability: Omikuji Koumei glimpses a favorable future and the precise steps needed to reach it. Cast the ability to uncover a challenge — completing it will reward Koumei a random Decree.
A roll of triple sixes will grant a Decree without needing to complete a challenge.
Third Ability: Omamori Surround yourself with Omamori Charms, each with a chance to have enemy attacks heal you instead of damage you. The number of charms is determined by Koumei’s dice roll.
A roll of triple sixes grants invulnerability for the duration of your Omamori Charms.
Fourth Ability: Bunraku Wield your foe’s fate threads like the strings of marionettes, suspending enemies in front of Koumei. Her dice determine the number of random Status Effects dealt to affected foes.
A roll of triple sixes maximizes Status Effect stacks and extends Bunraku to enemies behind Koumei.
New Deluxe Skins
Adorn yourself in the delicate beauty of sakura with Nova Aozakura, or embody a mythological god of thunder with Volt Raijin. Each of these Deluxe Skins also includes Ephemeras and Signas:
Caliban will also enjoy the Deluxe Skin treatment with the new Caliban Orfeo Collection! This otherworldly Deluxe Skin also brings the Seighe Scythe Skin and Heurodis Ephemera, pictured below:
Warframe Reworks
In addition to her graceful Deluxe Skin, Nova will also benefit from a "Light" Rework that makes minor (but welcome) improvements to her antimatter themed Abilities:
Caliban's Rework, on the other hand, is much more robust, as Design Director Pablo Alonso explains below:
Caliban Giveaway
Between his extensive Rework and otherworldly Orfeo Collection, Koumei & the Five Fates is shaping up to be a fairly Caliban-heavy update! To help facilitate the ease of trying out his new changes and improvements for yourself, we'll be giving away a free base Caliban Warframe (and Warframe slot) to all Tenno who log in between October 2 and October 16. Click here for our full round-up of Caliban's new adaptations.
Quality of Life Improvements
Many of the QoL changes and New Player Experience improvements coming with Koumei & the Five Fates were already detailed in our Dev Workshop, but during Devstream 181 we also announced a new, streamlined login process for Steam-linked accounts, as well as an expansion to Cross Platform Trading that will allow Tenno to more freely trade and gift across different platforms.
Warframe: 1999 Demo Coming October 16
On October 16, we’re giving all Tenno a taste of 1999! Hop into Höllvania as Arthur and battle the Scaldra atop your turbo-charged Atomicycle. This short demo will be accessible directly from your Orbiter. Complete it for yourself to earn a free Protokol Longsword Skin!
The Line Anime Teaser
As part of one last tease, we shared some work-in-progress images of The Hex Syndicate as seen in our collaboration with The Line. We're continuing to work closely with this incredible animation studio to produce an upcoming Warframe: 1999 short!
Heir to the twin kingdoms of Tau and Sol, Caliban debuted during The New War as the very first Sentient-Warframe hybrid. True to his origins, he's recently undergone a number of dramatic adaptations for improved playability that every Tenno should know about:
Caliban Rework
Sweeping changes have been made to Caliban's Abilities — not only to increase his overall strength but also to enhance the fantasy of wielding Sentient powers. To that end, this Rework officially formalizes Tau Damage, which Caliban now deals out extensively.
Razor Gyre has become a Status-inflicting "traversal tool," while Sentient Wrath is now more in line with the Crowd Control Abilities found among other Warframes. Casting Lethal Progeny will summon new types of Sentient allies, and Fusion Strike has seen a variety of Quality of Life improvements for a more satisfying experience.
Inspired by the fierce devotion of his mythological namesake, Caliban Orfeo channels both the Old War and the Otherworld with an impressive (but ghastly) new Deluxe Skin. Venture forth boldly in the face of death with Caliban Orfeo, or get the complete Caliban Orfeo Collection to instantly add the Seighe Scythe Skin, Heurodis Ephemera and Heurodis Decoration to your Arsenal, as well. All are available now on the in-game Market.
Free Caliban Giveaway
To celebrate both Caliban's highly-anticipated Rework and his new Orfeo Collection, we're also offering every Tenno a FREE Caliban Warframe (including an accompanying Warframe Slot and pre-installed Orokin Reactor). To earn yours, simply log into Warframe between 11:30 a.m. ET on October 2 and October 16 at 11:59 p.m. ET to claim him from your Inbox!
Get ready to be whisked away to 1999, Tenno! Starting on October 16, you'll have a chance to enter Höllvania and experience a short preview of Warframe: 1999 in our playable demo!
In this taste of the new update, you'll play as Arthur and explore the streets of Höllvania, ride your Atomicycle, fire off the AX-52 and take down the militant Scaldra patrolling the streets in a special Exterminate Mission to get a feel for the 20th century city where Warframe: 1999 takes place.
Completing the demo will also award you with the Protokol Longsword Skin, letting you borrow the look of Arthur's signature melee Weapon to slice and dice your way through the rest of your Warframe Missions!
Manipulate the threads of destiny when Koumei & the Five Fates launches next week on October 2!
Featuring a new Warframe and game mode, plus a generous helping of QoL improvements (including the second phase of our Companions 2.0 Rework) and three gorgeous Deluxe Skins, Warframe's next update has something on offer for every Tenno!
Atomize foes or rejuvenate friends with Prime Resurgence! Add Nova Prime and Trinity Prime, along with their signature Weapons and Accessories, to your Arsenal through the power of Regal Aya.
Plus, as an extra-special bonus for those of you who missed out on The Iridos Collection — it’s coming back with this rotation! Select Iridos items such as the Excalibur Prominence Skin, Udyat Iridos Syandana, Kudzon Ephemera and loads and more are available from Varzia Dax at Maroo's Bazaar on Mars.
