Hey guys! If you’ve been waiting for Free Fire India to return, you’re not alone. Before the 2022 ban, this game was HUGE in India and now in 2025 we are finally seeing a comeback!
The BIG question is ‘When is Free Fire India launching?’ So, let’s break down everything we know – rumors, leaks, official hints and what’s actually coming in the game!
Why Was Free Fire Banned in India?
Alright, let’s rewind a bit. In February 2022, the Indian government banned Garena’s Free Fire through IT Act 69A (on the same grounds as PUBG Mobile ended up being banned earlier). The main issue? Data privacy and security concerns.
At the time of the India ban, Free Fire had more than 10 million active players in India and millions more globally. That means obviously that there was a HUGE gap in the mobile gaming industry. People flocked to games such as BGMI, Call of Duty Mobile and New State, but let’s be real – Free Fire’s special crowd were drawn by the game’s fast-paced matches and the lower device requirements.
Even in 2023, Garena tried to bring it back, it even had a version coming for free fire India, but it didn’t make it run as planned. The comeback was delayed by some last-minute regulatory issues. Today, here we are in 2025, waiting for its big return!.
Free Fire India Launch Date 2025 – What’s Updated?
So, here’s the deal. And yet, we haven’t had an official Garena date of release yet, but that hasn’t stopped the rumors and leaks.
According to sources:
- Most likely launch date? March 2025 (Q1 2025)
- If delayed? Will be somewhere between Q2 and Q3 2025 (April to September).
It’s happening soon, but why do we think it’s happening soon? Well… We are very happy to see that Garena started making some BIG moves in India!
Garena Is Hiring in India – BIG CLUE?
When a company brings people on board to fill key roles, that means something big is going on. And guess what? Garena has gone back to looking for jobs in India!
