How to download Free Fire and FF MAX latest updates via APK files: Full method explained

Garena's Free Fire and Free Fire MAX collectively boast a massive active user base across the globe. Both BR shooters are essentially the same, with minimal difference in graphics quality, and it is pretty clear by name that the MAX variant provides a more immersive experience.

Despite featuring on the top charts of both the Google Play Store and App Store for a long time, Free Fire had a major setback in February 2022. It was banned in India alongside 53 other applications. However, the MAX variant is still available in the Google Play Store for Indian gamers.

Thus, developers have listed APK links for both BR shooter games that are available on the official website site Garena Free Fire. The complete details of the APK files and the download process are given in the following section.
