Over the past few years, Free Fire has been gradually making its way to the top of the mobile Battle Royale genre. The "Mobile Game of the Year" (according to eSports Awards 2020) writes its name in the gaming Hall of Fame with staggering numbers. To understand more about Free Fire's popularity, just take a look at over 500 million downloads on the Google Play Store alone.

The publisher Garena released the new OB25 update yesterday to introduce several features in the game. Players can now enjoy new changes, including that of Vector Akimbo, a new character, and more. According to the patch note issued yesterday, 6th December, there is still much more that awaits players in the OB25 update.

As mentioned earlier, users can now download and install the file for the OB25 update. In the patch notes, Garena disclosed that the Free Fire partners would receive an in-game badge. So, after the update, you can clearly tell who is a Free Fire partner by their unique badges.
