Gameplay and game modes
Free Fire and PUBG Mobile belong to the same genre but provide different experiences. PUBG Mobile has a more serious tone with a classic and realistic shooter game feel, while Free Fire uses other concepts like character abilities, weapon skins, pets, and more.
Both games have various multiplayer modes, but PUBG Mobile offers more versatility and maps than Free Fire. However, matches in Free Fire conclude more rapidly and smoothly than PUBG Mobile due to fewer players per match.
