After BGMI, Singapore’s Garena is set to launch Free Fire India exclusively for the Indian market on September 5, 2023. This move comes after the Indian government banned the original Free Fire along with 53 other apps in February 2022.

Exclusive Features for Safe Gameplay

To enhance safe gameplay and cater to the Indian audience, Free Fire India has introduced features like parental supervision verifications, set gameplay limits, and periodic ‘take a break’ reminders.

Free Fire India has also integrated Indian cultural touchpoints. Notably, Indian cricket superstar MS Dhoni will be both the brand ambassador and a playable character named “Thala.” Joining him are sports luminaries such as football skipper Sunil Chhetri, badminton ace Saina Nehwal, tennis maestro Leander Paes, and kabaddi prodigy Rahul Chaudhari, who will also be available as in-game characters.

A crucial part of Garena’s commitment to India is data security. Thus, Yotta, under the Hiranandani Group, will provide local cloud hosting and storage solutions, ensuring all user data remains within Indian borders. This partnership is not just about data; Yotta will be actively supporting Garena’s esports ventures in India.

Speaking of esports, the Free Fire India Championship (FFIC) is just around the corner. Sponsored by both Garena and Yotta and with the backing of the Uttar Pradesh government, this championship will see local teams vying for a chance to showcase their skills on the global stage at the Free Fire World Series in Thailand later this year.

From September 5th, Indian gamers can download Free Fire India, with more announcements about esports initiatives expected to follow shortly. This exclusive version not only promises a safer and more enjoyable gaming environment but also one that resonates with the Indian spirit.
