Garena Free Fire players have had a reason to rejoice lately as the game is expected to make a comeback in India in the form of Free Fire India. For the unaware, Garena Free Fire, along with 54 other China-linked apps, was banned by the Government of India on the morning of February 14, 2022. However, the ban was recently lifted, and the game is expected to arrive soon. Despite the unavailability of Garena Free Fire, its enhanced version, Garena Free Fire MAX, is free to play in India. It includes more advanced effects, animations, and graphics to enhance the overall user experience without compromising gameplay. However, it needs vastly superior resources on the gadgets being used to play the game. It is a more spec-heavy version of Garena Free Fire, but identical in terms of gameplay, and has become more popular, especially since the ban of Garena Free Fire in India.
