Digital Desk: Free Fire by Garena has mysteriously vanished from India's App Store and Play Store. The game's abrupt withdrawal from both the iOS and Android platforms has sparked some debate in the gaming world.
Since February 12, the app has been unavailable for download. Garena has yet to explain the app's removal from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
The creators of the hugely popular battle royale game are anticipated to make an announcement soon. On the Google Play store, only Free Fire Max is now available for download. While none of the games, including Free Fire and Free Fire Max, are available on the Apple App Store, they are available on Google Play.

However, we would want to remind users that these are only rumours and that neither Garena nor the Indian government has confirmed them. Users are advised not to believe any allegations and to wait for an official statement from the creators.
