Garena Free Fire is making a triumphant return to the Indian gaming landscape –

marking its re-entry on September 5 under the banner of ‘Free Fire India.’

This eagerly-awaited resurgence brings with it an exciting twist—none other than the legendary M.S. Dhoni will grace the gaming realm as a playable character.

In a nation where Battle Royale games hold a cherished spot in the hearts of gamers, the likes of Garena Free Fire, BGMI, and Call of Duty have caught on big time.

The comeback of Free Fire, which was among the applications barred by the Indian government in February 2022 due to security concerns, is set to inject fresh enthusiasm into the gaming sphere.

Just recently, the reinstatement of BGMI after a 10-month hiatus sent ripples of excitement among its fans.

Yotta, a subsidiary of the Hiranandani Group, is stepping in to provide local cloud hosting and storage infrastructure for the game.

This strategic collaboration with Yotta, a recognised MeitY-empanelled service provider, ensures meticulous management of Indian users’ personal data, bolstering data security.
