Garena Free Fire MAX: Are the low MB files for the BR shooter listed on various websites genuine?

Various Google search results for low MB files (Image via Google)

Players can find multiple websites listing low MB files for the MAX variant with just one Google search. The files listed often have download sizes of around 50-60 MB, which is quite misleading. These links serve the purpose of being clickbait to get more engagement.

In reality, the given 50-60 MB files are only APKs for the MAX variant. If gamers want to run any application, especially a game, without any hassle, they need to download the APK alongside OBB files as both are essential for the in-app content.

If users download a low MB file for Free Fire's MAX version featured on a site, they are only downloading the APK and won't get the original app's compressed version. Thus, the claims of low MB files are misleading and fake, despite the genuineness of APK files.

Also, such files carry harmful malware that can corrupt the device and steal personal data.

However, players need to be cautious and avoid downloading files (APK and OBB) from any third-party website. Sometimes, these files are unauthorized and can lead to account suspensions.

Players should directly download the MAX variant from Apple's App Store/Google Play Store or the game's official website.
