Warframe is a free shooter game released under Free to Play. It runs on Windows, Linux, needs about 50.0 GB of disk space, and requires no account, payment or trial. On a computer, the fastest route is the PlayBound Launcher. On a phone or tablet, use the official store or site instead.
Choose how to install
Install with PlayBound or download from the official source without the launcher.
Install Warframe from the official site (Warframe.msi) or add the free Steam app. Do not download ‘cracked’ or third-party clients.
Windows
Run the installer or Steam, let the launcher finish the large content download, then create a Digital Extremes account if you do not have one.
On first launch, complete the opening quests before shopping. Use Solo matchmaking if you want to play the star chart without a squad.

It is free to download and play. Platinum and a large cosmetic/convenience shop exist. You can progress without paying; you will see the shop.
Yes. Digital Extremes ships an official Solo matchmaking option. Some content is easier in a squad, but the game is not raid-gated at the start.
Plan on tens of gigabytes. The launcher download is much larger than a typical open-source catalog title.
Either official path is fine. Steam is simpler if you already live there. The standalone MSI from warframe.com is the other supported client.
No. It is a commercial live-service title listed so free-to-play PC games have accurate pages, not because it matches the FOSS quality bar.
Yes. Warframe has multiplayer. Its multiplayer runs through the game's own online service or menus, so PlayBound Connect parties and PlayBound dedicated servers are not available for it. There is no subscription and no paid multiplayer tier.
