An international battle royale title – which also happens to be the most downloaded games in the world – has been especially developed in Urdu for Pakistanis.

The world’s most downloaded Battle Royale game – FREE FIRE – has recently received its latest update (OB29) in which the game has finally introduced support of Urdu language.

The game's entire user interface can now be switched from English labels to Urdu, including buttons and other critical information necessary to navigate around the user interface.

FREE FIRE is popular for its three most unique aspects – fun, connections & friends, and strategy & competition.

These unique competencies of the game are the result of the collective efforts put in by FREE FIRE’s product development, marketing, partnerships, and eSports teams at Garena.

The game has over 35 unique characters, each carrying a special ability that can be used to give advantage in a certain domain. These characters and their abilities can be further assisted by PETS.

Just like real world pets, your in-game pet follows your character everywhere and amplifies one of the abilities; they're are cute and cuddly, but can be customised into cool characters.

The game offers a lot of different gun and pet skins and costumes for the characters; the game also has a range of different maps that can host up to 52 players in a single game session.

With its different different game modes, users can opt for shorter games with fun rules.

The concept of squads and guilds take the connection and competitive element of the game to a whole new level. A 'Squad' is small group of four people who can play as a team in a single game, whereas a 'Guild' is a longer team, more like a big clan, that can have up to 50 people under the same tag. This means, users can put together players from their guild to represent their clan at official and unofficial FREE FIRE tournaments.

And that brings us to the next stronghold of FREE FIRE: eSports!

The gaming platform has been promoting huge Free Fire eSports events for users, both locally and internationally. One league ends and the next one starts before you could even go back to rest for a while.

FREE FIRE eSports has grown massively in Pakistan. It is also the first game brand to partner with the government of Pakistan’s e-Pak initiative to promote eSports in Pakistan, and they’re doing so in style – with an official tournament in collaboration with the government of Pakistan and BIGO LIVE.

There’s so much to talk about this game, and with support for the Urdu language, what more can you ask of an exciting game?

On every major local and international occasions, FREE FIRE brings exciting events, contests, giveaways, and in-game items for its users.
