Garena Free Fire is one of the rising stars of the mobile battle royale genre. It is a free to play shooter that is pleasing to the eye, filled with a variety of awesome weapons, and brings a lot of fun. It's also a game that doesn't require a powerful device to play reliably, meaning anyone can grab their smartphone and get involved.
However, a new version comes in the form of Free Fire Max, and it brings a bunch of improvements to the game's visuals and UI, meaning those with more powerful devices can experience Free Fire at its full potential. There are also improvements to other aspects, including special effects that can be triggered using special skills, hinting at an RPG-style progression system. At just under 1GB, it's also a big game. There is currently an Android version in the works, with an iOS version coming soon.
But for those who have devices with enough growl to run, how can you play Free Fire Max?
At the moment, this new version of the game is still in development and the game is still in the testing phase, and is not available to fans. With higher than normal Fire Free requirements, that means the phones will need to be tested by the developer to ensure compatibility. As this can take some time, there is currently no release date for the game or a date when a beta for fans could become available.
For existing players keen to play the new one but fearful of continuing because of the update, fear not. Developer Garena has confirmed that progress from the standard version will be transferable to Free Fire Max, which means you can continue as you currently do.
If you want to stay up to date with the game and when the new version is expected, you can follow the progress on the game's website.
