1 - Five biggest changes in Free Fire Max

Graphical Improvements

This is probably the reason that Free Fire MAX was created. While you can only get to Ultra in the Original game, Max has an even higher setting called Super Ultra, with even better objects, special effects and character textures. The texture is probably the most noticeable improvement - surfaces of objects are no longer blurry now.

The environment is going to get the most improvements, of course, with everything getting a higher resolution update. Skin's particle effects come second - they would be more striking in MAX.

Unlike PUBG Mobile who makes the Lite version its own game, Free Fire Max and Free Fire are pretty much the same game. They would have identical gameplay and pretty much everything except for graphics. You would not lose any progress by moving to Max.

Draw distance

Draw distance is one of the best features in video games - it enables players to see objects from afar. In a battle royale like Free Fire, a lot of fights occur at long range... and this improvement would definitely come in handy.

At the cost of device performance, MAX players would be able to see a bigger area rendered. This might be an advantage when going against normal Free Fire players... as MAX players would be able to see them first.

New Lobby and Intro

The first change that people would see in the Max version is the animated intro screen. Previously, Free Fire Max use the same static loading screens as the normal version – this change would make logging into the game and loading matches much more dynamic and…cool. The animated intro would play a new video every time the game is started.

The second feature added is Free Fire's character lobby animation. The player character and his pet would not stand still anymore - they would continue to move forward, providing a much more immersive experience.

Streaming Features

Apparently, MAX would have streaming integration and a few more quality of life feature. Players would be able to directly stream their gameplay to Garena's official platform 'Booyah'.

2 - How To Install Free Fire Max APK?

If your phone has 2GB RAM or more, you would probably be able to run Free Fire Max. 4GB RAM is highly recommended for the best gaming experience, as you would be able to run settings higher than ultra that way.

You will need about 2 GB of storage space, with the APK file being 47MB and the OBB file being over 1GB in size. Combined that with the later content packs that need to be downloaded, you would have a fairly large game folder on your device.
