Garena Free Fire was recently banned in India due to unknown reasons. While Garena is working on resolving the situation and trying to restore access for its players, players are already looking for Garena Free Fire alternative games to play. There are plenty of options out there if you liked the gameplay that Free Fire had to offer. Here are five games that you can consider checking out while waiting for Free Fire to be unbanned.
Garena Free Fire Alternative Games
Here are the top five Free Fire alternative games for you to try.
1. Garena Free Fire Max
Free Fire Max by Garena was not banned in the previous ban wave. Free Fire Max is an improved version of the popular battle royale with better graphics, gameplay, and more. The core gameplay remains the same across both titles and you can also migrate your Free Fire data to Free Fire Max without any issues.
But are there many downsides to moving to Free Fire Max? Yes. The biggest issue that players face when switching to Free Fire Max is that the game is much more demanding in terms of hardware. You will need a powerful smartphone to run the game at a stable framerate. If you got average performance when playing Free Fire, chances are that your experience with Free Fire Max will be a lot worse.

2. New State Mobile
New State Mobile is a spinoff game set in the future of the PUBG universe. The game has better visuals and faster gameplay than PUBG mobile. But it is a resource-hungry game and just like Free Fire Max, you need a capable smartphone to play the game.

3. Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI)
Battlegrounds Mobile India or BGMI is a much safer option to go for than Free Fire Max. We don’t know how long Free Fire Max will be available in India considering Free Fire got banned recently. BGMI on the other hand was built with the Indian audience in mind and came after PUBG Mobile’s ban. The game was created specifically for the Indian audience and it has quickly grown to be one of the most popular games in the country.
4. Fortnite
Fortnite by Epic Games continues to be one of the most dominant battle royales in the market. The game might not have the same amount of hype it used to during the first three years of its launch, but it still is one of the most played games right now. With regular updates and crossover events taking place in-game, the Fortnite community is massive and it is worth jumping into as a Free Fire fan.

5. Call of Duty: Mobile
Call of Duty: Mobile might not have the same massive playerbase as BGMI or Free Fire in India, but it still has a sizeable audience and it is one of the most popular mobile shooters in the world. The game has a host of weapons, guns, operators, and more inspired by the PC and console titles. There are numerous game modes and dozens of maps that have been added over the years.
