Warframe [PEGI 18] is an action RPG game that’s available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S and X, Nintendo Switch and PC. This post will go through the settings that may affect the motor accessibility of the game and are found in the console version of the Warframe, such as options for controller remapping, trigger thresholds, auto-targeting melees and aim assistance. However, all settings mentioned can also be found in the PC version.
