Both games are powered by Unity Engine, but the graphics of COD Mobile is quite different than Free Fire. While the former needs a device with powerful RAM (4 GB ideally) to run smoothly, Free Fire is compatible with low-end devices.

The graphics of COD Mobile is sharper, and hence the weapons and maps are more detailed. On the other hand, Free Fire has cartoonish textures with a bright backdrop that does not feel very realistic.
