Free Fire
Free Fire is a fast battle royale shooter built for short online matches on mobile devices. You parachute onto an island with up to 49 opponents, search for weapons and supplies, stay ahead of a shrinking safe zone, and fight until one player or squad remains. Character abilities and deployable Gloo Walls, temporary barriers used for cover, add tactical choices, while vehicles, revival systems, and compact maps keep matches moving quickly. Outside the main Battle Royale mode, Clash Squad turns the same shooting and ability systems into round-based four-versus-four contests, and players can develop characters, master weapons, create maps in Craftland, join guilds, and collect cosmetic items between matches.

Gameplay and setting
Free Fire's main Battle Royale mode places up to 50 players on an island. Players choose a landing point, collect weapons and supplies, move with a shrinking safe zone, and fight until one player or team remains. Matches are designed for short mobile sessions of about 10 minutes.
Characters have abilities that support different approaches to movement, healing, scouting, defense, and team play. Players can combine those abilities with weapon loadouts, vehicles, revival systems, vending machines, and Gloo Walls, which create temporary cover during fights.
Clash Squad is a round-based four-versus-four mode in which teams purchase equipment and try to eliminate the opposing squad. Craftland supports player-created maps and custom experiences, while ranked modes, guilds, weapon mastery, and cosmetic collection provide longer-term progression.
