Garena's Free Fire is an online battle royal game where players enter a battlefield in search of weapons and equipment to kill opponents. When players join the game, they are made to jump from a plane, which flies over an island. Players are free to choose their starting position, take weapons and supplies to extend their battle life. The safe area on the map continues to shrink over time, directing the surviving players into tighter areas to force encounters. It's much like PUBG and the last man standing is a winner. However, the Free Fire has quicker gameplay with 50 players instead of 100. A single game of Free Fire can last for about 10-15 minutes.
You can play solo or with a squad in the Free Fire game using a range of weapons, including grenades, bat, sword, scythe, machete, and guns such as snipers, pistol, SMG, and LMG, among others.
Free Fire's developer and publisher Garena Studios has only released the game for PlayStation, Android mobile phones, and iPhones so far. The game is completely free to download, with some in-app purchases. Android and iPhone users can head to their respective Google Play Store and App Store to download the game on their device.

While the Free Fire game is a mobile application, it's just not available for Jio Phone users yet. The handset, as you may know, runs Kai OS instead of Android and doesn't meet the system requirements of the game. However, the Garena Free Fire game apk for the Jio Phone that has been doing rounds is either fake or malware. We would recommend not to fall for the apk as it may give hackers and online thieves access to your data.
There is no PC version of the game yet. However, you can still download Free Fire game on Windows laptop/ PC and Mac. This will require any compatible Android emulators that can mirror smartphone apps to a PC. Here's a list of some of the best Android emulators:
The Free Fire game has a wide assortment of exclusive items, including skins, costumes, guns, emotes, characters, and more, which can be purchased through in-game currency Diamond. However, the items are generally quite expensive and require a lot of Diamonds. The Free Fire game's redeem codes are the workaround for players to purchase these items for free. From time to time, the game developer Garena releases exclusive redeem code for players on its social media platforms and via live stream. You can collect these codes to purchase in-game items such as upgraded skins and weapons and characters, without exhausting the Diamond.
However, it is important to note that the Free Fire redeem codes come with an expiry date. Furthermore, the developer makes these redeem codes for players of a specific region/ server(s), which means players from other regions cannot redeem them.
Free Fire redemption code key points
As stated above, the redemption codes can be collected via Garena Free Fire social media platform and live stream.
You can also top up the 'Diamonds' on the Garena Free Fire game to purchase items. This can be done through a special top-up event such as the ongoing Midnight Samurai, in-game store, and third-party websites such as Game Khareedo and Codashop.
The Free Fire Game Diamond prices are as follows:
There are reports for several third-party Garena Free Fire hacks and using any of them could get you banned, at which point you'll lose all of your in-game diamonds and money spent on points. The gamemaker describes "using any unauthorized third-party programs which are not released by Garena", as well as modification tools "in order to use functions which are not existent on the official game" as cheating.
