How to download Free Fire MAX and play with Garena FF ID in India (March 2022)

On 14 February, the Indian government declared a ban on Free Fire due to security concerns. However, it was surprising to millions of active players that the improved version, Free Fire MAX, was not banned and is still yet available on the Google Play Store.

MAX is the enhanced version of the normal game with comparatively higher resolution, graphics, animation, sound effects, etc. Despite this, most users prefer the ordinary version because of the resources used. Low-end devices often lag while playing the MAX version.

With no other options after the ban, games with any phone are now willing to play even the MAX version. However, numerous users are still confused about downloading FF MAX and logging into the game via the normal Garena FF ID.
