The Indian authorities banned Free Fire and 53 other applications earlier this month. Mainly owned by Chinese technology and gaming businesses. It is claimed by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology that the prohibited applications send sensitive data of Indian individuals to Chinese servers. Also, posing a danger to the security and privacy of Indian citizens.
It’s unclear how Garena will respond to the Free Fire restriction in India. Or if the game would be releasing again in the nation altogether. In January 2022, the game received millions of downloads from players worldwide.
