Why is Free Fire so popular among the Battle Royale titles?

Compatibility for low-end devices

Free Fire is a game for everyone. The title was specially made for low-end devices so that every Android user can experience the thrill of battle royale.

“In Brazil, many people don’t have a computer, so people just grow up without a computer. But everybody has a cell phone right now. It’s way cheaper than a PC.” Hence, Free Fire reaches a larger audience with its low-spec requirements.

Unique updates

The unique updates in the game keep refreshing the in-game content and, the developers also add some extra features to engage the players, like adding a new character or new function. With the addition of new features in every update, players are always on their toes to find out what is going to come next. As of now, the next OB28 update in Free Fire is around the corner and, the Advance Server registration for OB28 has already started.

Multiple unique features

Easy gameplay style and user interface

The core gameplay style of Free Fire does not differ much from other battle royale titles. The user interface is also simple to understand and a beginner can pick up the gameplay style and methods within two days of playing it. The controls are also set up for easy gameplay on mobile phones. A virtual D-Pad on the left side of the screen allows players to move the character, while buttons on the right allow them to fire, crouch, lie prone, and leap. Hence, more and more new players opt for Free Fire to try out their hands at the BR genre instead of going for resource-intensive games like COD Mobile, PUBG Mobile, etc.
