Apparently, Warframe could stand to lose some weight; after three open worlds, over a dozen tile-sets, 28 quests, almost 500 weapons, over a thousand mods, and several remasters that updated older content, the game’s file size has reached megachonker status, so the devs at Digital Extremes are going to perform what they’re calling a “great ensmallening.”
This trim down of Warframe will require players to download some remastered content, but the efforts will ultimately reduce about 15GB of space by the time all is said and done. Furthermore, these refinements will improve performance thanks to new texture data compression tech as well as changes to lightmaps. These so-called “mini remasters” will be broken up in to three pieces and will release over the rest of this year, the first of which will include the aforementioned lightmap adjustments.
