How to download and play Free Fire on a PC?

You can play Free Fire on a PC with an emulator. While there are several emulators available in the market, the best one is Gameloop.

  4. You will be able to see the Free Fire as well as the Free Fire MAX options in the menu.
  5. You can download any version of the game. Free Fire MAX is a more demanding version of the game which has better graphics.

  7. The emulator will have preset controls to make it easy to play with a keyboard and mouse. Alternatively, you can also change these controls in the settings.

Is it allowed to play with an emulator?

If you are wondering if your precious Free Fire account might get banned for playing with an emulator, don’t worry. Garena allows players to enjoy the game on PC but has different matchmaking for them.

Players on the emulator will only be matched with other emulator players. If a player on your team connects with an emulator, the entire team will be matched against emulators. An emulator player in your lobby can be spotted with the PC icon above their name.

It’s to be noted that these matchmaking rules extend only to the Clash Squad and Battle Royale ranked modes. Other casual modes may mix mobile and emulator players together.
