Free Fire ban in India Garena Free Fire was banned in India in February 2022 by the Ministry of Electronics and IT, citing national security and data privacy concerns. The ban came as part of a broader action against several apps allegedly linked to Chinese firms or servers. While Free Fire was removed from both Android and iOS app stores, its graphically enhanced version, Free Fire Max, was not included in the ban and remained accessible to Indian users. Now, the TEZ FFMIC 2025 marks the re-entry of Garena in the world of esports and tournaments.

After being overshadowed by BGMI following its 2022 ban, Free Fire Max is returning with a ₹1 crore prize pool, putting it squarely back in competition with Krafton's hit game.

These limits aim to filter for experienced and active players only.
