How to download Free Fire on a laptop in 2020

Garena Free Fire is one of the most prominent mobile games in the world at the moment. It was the most downloaded mobile game last year and was presented with the award for 'Best Popular Vote Game' by Google Play Store.

It is a free-to-play game which features a conventional battle royale experience wherein players land on a turf, look for weapons and try to eliminate other players to become the last man standing.

However, many users currently prefer playing Free Fire on their PCs or laptops rather than their mobile phones. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, if your mobile is backdated or has overheating problems, you cannot play games like Free Fire on them. Secondly, laptops and PCs provide a way bigger screen compared to mobile phones. This allows a player to enjoy a better gaming experience and a smoother frame rate to play their matches.
