As of this writing, the Garena Free Fire official website is accessible to Indian users, and they can visit it to discover more information about the game and find the APK file as well. However, with the imposition of the ban, it can be assumed that the Government will take down the game’s page for the players in the country in the not-too-distant future.

This could be similar to that of PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite, whose websites were both shut down by the Government of India a few days after the ban was in effect back in 2020.

Users are currently waiting to see what unfolds in the coming few days, as Garena is yet to provide a proper update about the game’s future. They just mentioned that they are working on addressing the issue.

"It is not clear why Free Fire MAX is not banned in India, given that the two games share a server. Perhaps this version has been overlooked by the Government."
