More than four years after New Delhi banned Free Fire over national security concerns, Garena has brought the popular battle royale game back to India with a localized version.
On Wednesday, Garena launched the localized version, called Free Fire India, as a standalone game available on Android and iOS. The new version features India-specific content, parental controls, playtime limits, and spending caps, with user data hosted on servers in India, the firm owned by South Asian giant Sea said. The launch comes more than three years after Garena quietly postponed Free Fire India’s earlier release after announcing it in September 2023.
