Along with BGMI, Free Fire is one of the most well-known battle royale games on mobile in India. After its first release, the game quickly gained popularity among gamers in India. Furthermore, BGMI‘s ban last year led to tremendous growth for Free Fire. But in February 2022, the Indian government banned Free Fire in India, which hit the gaming community hard. However, the game is coming back to the market really strong, with famous Indian Athletes like Sunil Chhetri, Saina Nehwal, and others as the game’s new brand ambassadors.

Garena’s Free Fire is really popular amongst the mobile gaming community, not just in India but worldwide. It’s a hit amongst the different mobile games out there, with over 1 billion downloads worldwide. The unique playstyle of the game, along with Battle Royale aspects in the shooting genre, makes the game really fun to play. Furthermore, the Government banned Free Fire in India last year but has given the game the green light once again. The game is going to be unbanned in India soon.
