The Indian government recently banned 54 apps in the country and one of the most popular games in India — Garena Free Fire (the Singapore-based company) was amongst the list of the banned apps in the country. All of the 54 apps removed from the Google Play Store and Apple Play store in India.
GOVENRMENT POINT OF VIEW
While the government has banned Free Fire, its improved version, Max continues to remain playable in the country. Garena Free Fire Max remains the same game, just with better graphics, enhanced gameplay, and more. Additionally, players have the option to migrate all of their current Free Fire data over to Free Fire Max.
With the ban, many gamers would be looking for an alternative to switch to and the best Free Fire alternative in India in 2022 are — Garena Free Fire Max, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), PUBG New State Mobile, Call of Duty: Mobile, and Fortnite
To recall, in 2020, the Indian government banned hundreds of Chinese apps including the very popular PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite. On June 29 the government had last year banned 59 Chinese apps including TikTok, WeChat, UC Browser, and Xiaomi’s Mi Community over national security concerns amid the border tussle in Ladakh which led to the death of of of 20 Indian soldiers in the Galwan Valley clash with Chinese PLA troops.
FACTS
According to the Korean developer, Garena is allegedly plagiarising game concepts and components from PUBG Mobile.
Furthermore, Krafton has filed a second case against Google and Apple to allow Garena Free Fire via their respective app stores. In addition, the PUBG developer sued YouTube for enabling broadcasters to broadcast Garena Free Fire on the video site.
“Battlegrounds’ patented distinctive game-opening ‘airdrop’ element, the game structure and play, the combination and selection of weapons, armor, and unique items, locales, and the overall choice of color schemes, materials, and textures,” according to Krafton’s complaint.
It is also unknown if individuals who have previously installed the game can still play it. Meanwhile, the improved version of Garena Free Fire, Garena Free Fire Max, is still accessible on Google Play but not on the Apple App Store.
The recent problems have irritated fans, and now rumors are circulating in the community that these games have been banned in India. It started a few hours ago when both games were abruptly pulled from the Apple App Store without explanation.
CONCLUSION
Around that time, India has blocked hundreds of Chinese apps, including TikTok, Weibo, and WeChat.
Fans can remain up to speed on the latest developments by following the brand on social media. Meanwhile, gamers should avoid putting their trust in any continuing story and desist from disseminating such information. Rumors have also arisen as a result of the login difficulty.
Garena Free Fire, a famous battle royale mobile game that competes with PUBG, has vanished from Google Play and the Apple App Store. At this time, neither Garena International, the popular game’s distributor, nor Apple or Google have remarked on the absence.
It is an online action-adventure battle royale game exclusively available online. In a battle royale encounter, up to 50 players land on an island searching for weapons and equipment. Players may pick their starting position and choose guns and supplies to help them survive longer in combat.
