Free Fire is one of the country's most famous names among battle royale titles. However, its sudden ban, along with 54 other Chinese titles, on February 14, 2022, came as a massive blow to the community of content creators and esports athletes.

Gamers are eagerly waiting to get updates on when the game will return to the leading app stores. They are bewildered as various fake rumors of the title coming back to the app stores are spreading like wildfire online.


Free Fire India ban: Everything to know

Lovers of the title are looking for legit sources to extract any related information on its ban. Since the Indian Government has banned the game, there is less chance of it returning to the app stores unless the suspension is lifted. Hence, no date can be identified as the exact date for its unban in the country.

Officials from Garena have released a statement regarding the news of the title's ban in the country. Here's what they have said to the gaming audience:

"We are aware that FF is currently unavailable in the Google Play and iOS app stores in India and that the game is currently not operable for some users in the country. We are working to address this situation, and we apologize to our users for any inconvenience."

However, until the popular BR shooter comes back in the region, users can enjoy another similar title released by Garena called Free Fire MAX. This version offers the same core BR concept with similar maps, modes, and other features.


Top features of Free Fire MAX

It is the premium version of Free Fire. Players can see certain differences in the quality of graphics in both titles.

The MAX version offers HD-quality graphics with excellent dynamics. These high-quality graphics help users get a magnificent survival royale experience on their smartphones.


2) Size and compatibility

The MAX edition has a sizeable download size compared to its elder cousin. The game comes with a download size of 500 MB on the Android Play Store and 1.2 GB on the Apple iOS App Store.
