Warframe players will have to download their entire game all over again. Warframe Update 1.83 is now deployed for PlayStation 4, with the PC version having already been released. The update is known as Warframe Revised and will change how assets are stored on your console. Thankfully, the update will bring the size of the game down from 48 GB to only 29 GB. PS4 players will also get a 2x Affinity Weekend after the update goes live.
It’s not just a reduction in overall size, as the update also brings many welcomed changes and bug fixes. From now on players have an additional Railjack pilot control option called “Pilot Centered Crosshair” that can be enabled/disabled by going to Options/Control/ Railjack. Smooth time for non-centered reticles while using turrets in Railjack is increased, as is optimization for survival missions. You can check out the major highlights of the article below or read the complete patch notes on the official site.
Warframe 1.83 Update Patch Notes
Console Specific Notes:
- Similarly to when we deployed Warframe Revised on PC, our PS4 Tenno can expect a 2x Affinity Weekend to follow the week that the update is deployed. We will post a PSA once the bonus weekend is live!
- Controller Changes & Fixes:
- Added a new Railjack pilot control “Pilot Centered Crosshair” option that, when set, the look input will only turn the Railjack and will not affect your crosshair. To enable/disable go to Options > Controls > Scroll down to “Railjack”:
- You are already familiar with the enabled state of this option as it was the previous default and only crosshair option. Now, when you disable this option, the left stick will move your Railjack (forward/back/side to side), and the right stick will now allow you to freely move the reticle across the screen.
- Increased the smooth time for non-centered reticles while piloting/using turrets in the Railjack.
- Fixed missing bumper functionality when cycling through Components and Armaments categories in the Configure Railjack panel.
- Fixed both the "on" and "off" state of the Railjack Ability Menu not getting bound to the Custom Ability Menu keybind.
- Fixed an issue where rebinding the Ability Menu in the Railjack controller options would allow you to open it with the new binding, but force you to use the default binding to close it. Rebinding the Ability Menu will now use the new binding to open and close it.
- Fixed customizing your Railjack controls always showing them as their default button regardless of the changes.
- Fixed “Vector Maneuver” and “Drift Maneuver” not functioning as intended (only boosting) due to binding conflicts.

- Fixed custom Railjack bindings not applying to hijacked Crewship turrets.
