The primary one – Free Fire India Official, which has over 11 million subscribers, doesn't even show up upon searching for it on YouTube. If users access it via a link, the following will show up:

"This channel is not available."

On the contrary, the esports channel of the game has been renamed 'Cardano Official,' and players will be able to find videos based on the same attached. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, Cardano is a public blockchain platform.

Fans need not worry, as YouTube will take action to restore the channel to its previous state in the coming hours. After that, players will likely be able to consume the content as usual.

Another thing to note is that the official channel of Free Fire Bangladesh has also been taken down, similarly to the Indian one and cannot be found on the platform.

Note: The game is banned in India and gamers from the country are advised not to play it.
