Free Fire’s ban took the Indian mobile gaming community by shock. On 14 February, 2022, the Indian Government announced the ban on 54 mobile applications, including the battle royale game.The Indian mobile gaming community was curious to learn the reason behind the ban, as neither did the game have any Chinese roots nor was it a clone of any previously banned mobile application. It was later revealed that the game was taken down as it caused a threat to national security.Fans demand Indian version of Free FireThere's no news on an Indian version of the popular battle royale game (Image via Sportskeeda)Even though it has been almost a month since Free Fire was taken down from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, there has been no update regarding its potential return. Even the developers have remained tight-lipped about the game’s re-release in the country.Since Indian mobile gamers went through a somewhat similar experience when PUBG Mobile was banned, they have now begun to ask for an Indian version of Free Fire. PUBG Mobile eventually returned as Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), and players are hopeful of an Indian version of Garena’s flagship title seeing the light of day as well.Here are a few tweets showing players clamoring for an Indian version of the game:Gourhari mandal@Gourharimanda20@freefireeu @freefireindia As soon as possible make new Indian version freefire Here full of ff lover And we don't leave it8:21 AM · Feb 28, 2022@freefireeu @freefireindia As soon as possible make new Indian version freefire Here full of ff lover And we don't leave itKuahal@Kuahal59412591Bro I am free fire player As you know that free fire is other app has been baned in India Those you want new free fire Indian version they replay my tweet9:01 AM · Feb 15, 20221Bro I am free fire player As you know that free fire is other app has been baned in India Those you want new free fire Indian version they replay my tweetKushalpratik@kushalpratikAs you know free fire has been band at 14th FebThose you wants to get free fire Indian version they support me and replay me in this tweet7:04 AM · Feb 16, 202211As you know free fire has been band at 14th FebThose you wants to get free fire Indian version they support me and replay me in this tweetRudra@Rudra43494265@hisohn @Anuj_Tandon see at your opponent.

Basically free fire would be forced to release an Indian version of the game which would mean that taxation cannot be escaped5:19 AM · Feb 14, 20221@m1mosa_prophet The one and only reason I see Indian government doing that is to maximise the revenue from the gaming industry. Basically free fire would be forced to release an Indian version of the game which would mean that taxation cannot be escapedSince Free Fire MAX, the enhanced version of the battle royale game, is still available, players have turned to it for the time being. They can easily download it from the Google Play Store. Unfortunately, low-end device owners will have to opt for alternatives to Free Fire as the enhanced version is incompatible with lesser hardware.The enhanced version of the game has become the most downloaded game in the country (Image via Sportskeeda)One of the best aspects of the premium version of Free Fire is that players have the option to use their old Free Fire accounts to log into the game. This has been possible due to the Firelink technology which also allows players to enjoy cross-game matches, regardless of which version they use.
