Free Fire has been growing steadily in pretty much every region in the world, especially in India, after its biggest rival PUBG Mobile got banned. With its growth comes various new demands from gamers... and graphical improvement is one of the most popular topics amongst those requests.

Free Fire Max is going to provide players with a completely improved experience

That's why Free Fire has been testing the Max version - a version of the game that's designed to run on higher-end devices. In this article, we would list out everything you need to know about Free Fire Max Launch Date in India.

1 - Why Did Garena Create Free Fire Max?

Free Fire was released almost three years ago when phones weren't that powerful... and because of that, it's system requirements are super low so that almost all phones would be able to run it. However, in 2020, that has turned into a disadvantage, as pretty much every competitor (like Call of Duty Mobile, PUBG Mobile or Fortnite) looks better than Free Fire.

This is why Garena is working on a new and improved version of the game, with better graphics, effects and textures, aiming for the latest generation of phones. While Free Fire Max is a completely separated application, players would not need a new account to log in - they can just use their current Free Fire account. Both versions can play the game together normally - and Max players would not get any advantage over normal players.

You should not bother with the download link, as the OBT version is not available in India yet. You would need a Google Account created in other countries to access it. VPN would not work, as the region is based on your Account, not your IP. You could always try to make a google play account from another country using VPN, of course.

When the OBT for India is available for download, the program would send you an email of notification.
