Garena Free Fire is one of the most popular battle royale games in the world. However, because of its popularity, there are thousands of fake websites offering "Mod APKs" or "Hacked Versions."

Stop! Downloading from these unofficial sources is the fastest way to get your account banned or your device infected with viruses. In this guide, we will show you the only official ways to download the game safely on Android, iOS, and PC.



Why Official? Downloading the official version ensures you get the latest events, fair matchmaking, and 100% account safety from Garena's anti-cheat system.

1. How to Install on Android (Google Play Store)

For Android users, the Google Play Store is the only authorized source. Do not use third-party APK sites.

Standard Free Fire vs. Free Fire MAX

There are two versions you can choose from:

  • Free Fire: Best for older phones or devices with 2GB/3GB RAM.
  • Free Fire MAX: Features HD graphics and better animations. Best for newer phones (4GB RAM and up).

Installation Steps:

  1. Open the Google Play Store app on your device.
  2. Tap the search bar and type "Garena Free Fire".
  3. Look for the publisher name: Garena International I.
  4. Tap the green Install button.
  5. Once installed, open the game and log in via Facebook, Google, or VK to save your progress.

2. How to Install on iOS (iPhone & iPad)

Apple holds high security standards, so downloading is straightforward.

  1. Open the Apple App Store.
  2. Search for "Free Fire".
  3. Ensure the developer is listed as Garena International.
  4. Tap the "GET" button.
  5. Authenticate with FaceID or TouchID to begin the download.

3. How to Play Officially on PC

Many players prefer using a mouse and keyboard. You do not need to download sketchy files to do this. You have two safe options:

Option A: Google Play Games (Official PC Version)

Google has released "Google Play Games Beta" for Windows. This allows you to run mobile games natively on your PC without heavy emulators.

  • Visit the official Google Play Games website.
  • Download the installer.
  • Sign in with your Google account and install Free Fire directly.

Option B: Verified Emulators

If you prefer using an emulator, stick to the big, trusted names. BlueStacks, LDPlayer, and Gameloop are widely used and generally safe, provided you download the game inside the emulator via the Play Store.

⚠️ Warning: Avoid Mod APKs

You may see websites promising "Unlimited Diamonds" or "Auto-Aim" if you download their file. As a responsible gamer, you must avoid these.

The Risks of Unofficial Downloads:

1. Permanent Ban: Garena bans millions of accounts every year for using modified files. You will lose all your skins and progress.
2. Data Theft: Fake APKs often contain malware that steals your passwords.
3. AdSense Safety: If you are a content creator, promoting these files violates Google's policies.

System Requirements

To run the game smoothly, ensure your device meets these minimum specs:

Android Requirements

  • OS: Android 4.4 or later
  • CPU: Dual core 1.2GHz
  • RAM: 2GB (4GB recommended for MAX)
  • Storage: 2.5GB Free Space
