Free Fire MAX is the enhanced alternative version of the incredibly popular battle royale game Free Fire. Initially, the game was launched in 2021 for beta testers.

Since Free Fire MAX was limited to testers only, the normal users had to become beta testers to download the game, which is a bit difficult for a non-techy.

Now, after the ban on Free Fire, the parent company, Garena fully released the game for both Android and iOS. But, most of us, still don’t know how to download the game.

In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through how to download Free Fire MAX on Android and iOS for free.

A few important notes:

• Free Fire MAX is a resource-intensive game, so make sure your device meets the recommended specifications (at least 2 GB of RAM) for the best experience.
• The game has a much larger file size compared to the original Free Fire, so you’ll need at least 1.5 GB of free storage space.
• If you already have a Free Fire account, you can use the same login credentials for Free Fire MAX and pick up where you left off.
• Strictly, download APK and OBB files only from trusted sources to avoid security risks.
