Free Fire Mobile

Garena Free Fire is a battle royale game, developed by 111 Dots Studio and published by Garena for Android and iOS. It became the most downloaded mobile game globally in 2019. Due to its popularity, the game received the award for the «Best Popular Vote Game» by the Google Play Store in 2019. As of May 2020, Free Fire has set a record with over 80 million daily active users globally. Garena Free Fire is an online-only action-adventure battle royale game played in a third-person perspective.

The game consists of up to 50 players falling from a parachute on an island in search of weapons and equipment to kill the other players. Players are free to choose their starting position, take weapons and supplies to extend their battle life. When players join a game, they will enter a plane, which will fly over the island. While the plane is flying over the island, the players can jump where they want, thus allowing them to choose a strategic place to land away from enemies. After landing, the players must then go looking for weapons and utility items. Medical equipment, medium and large weapons, grenades, and other items featured can be found throughout the island. The available safe area of the game’s map decreases in size over time, directing the surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters.

Free Fire was the fourth most downloaded game on the Google Play Store in the fourth quarter of 2018 and was the fourth most downloaded game worldwide in 2018 on iOS and the Google Play Store together. The title earned approximately 182 million downloads in 2018, making it the second most downloaded battle royale mobile game, and grossed approximately $19.3 million in monthly revenues through December 2018, becoming a significant financial success for Garena. As of February 2020, Free Fire has 500 million downloads on the Google Play Store. In February 2021, Garena announced that the Free Fire World Series is returning with a $2 million prize pool, and will be held twice a year with play-ins commencing in April 2021.
