Graphics and visuals are other vital aspects to determine the hardware support of a game. Free Fire has a cartoonish approach with more inclination towards arcade-style gameplay. However, it has vibrant color schemes with rich color contrasts, which fascinates most of the players.

Designed by Unreal Engine 4, it provides a realistic and life-like feel to the gamers while on the virtual battleground. This game also has more grandiose color schemes, detailed map textures, and subtle color contrasts worthy of the gaming experience.
