Gamers are constantly searching for the Fire Fire India release date on the internet, but according to the reports, it's highly unlikely that they will get to see the game this year, too. Notably, the game was originally scheduled to be released in September 2023, but as of now, Garena has not given any clarification on the delay of the launch. Some fans are already starting to think that the launch has been cancelled.
Free Fire India Release Date: 2026 Launch Seems Unlikely
Garena announced the Indian version of Free Fire, Free Fire India, in 2023, and the launch was set for 5 September 2023. However, ahead of the launch, Garena issued a delay of release, and as of now, after nearly 3 years, the game is still on hold.
On top of that, Garena hasn't given a single update about the launch or the delay of the game. Moreover, they haven't even canceled the launch; you can still pre-register for the game on the Google Play Store.
The industry experts suggest that Garena has shifted their focus to their other game, Free Fire MAX, in India, and the launch of Free Fire India is on hold for an indefinite period. Since last year, the rise of Free Fire MAX needs to be studied.
Garena has hosted two major tournaments for Free Fire MAX esports players, including the Free Fire MAX India Cup (FFMIC) 2025 and the Free Fire MAX Asia Invitational (FFMAI) 2025. Also, Garena has hosted the Free Fire MAX Booyah Awards in Kolkata.
These developments hint that Garena’s real focus is on growing Free Fire MAX in the country, not the launch of the highly anticipated Free Fire MAX. So we advise gamers not to wait any longer for the game and start grinding in Free Fire MAX until Garena officially provides any update on Free Fire India.
