Garena’s Battle-Royale juggernaut Free Fire has established itself as one of the most popular mobile esports titles out there. With over 800 million downloads since it was released in 2017, the game isn’t stopping to roll in terms of widespread success globally. A new version of the game was even released with enhanced graphics and animations, called Free Fire Max.
Free Fire Max saw launch last September 2021. The game is also seeing much success, especially for those who want to play with better technical qualities. But of course, comparing both games would always be present for Free Fire fans as a whole. And we are glad to dive deeper into our comparison for Free Fire and Free Fire Max.

Free Fire Max’s Better Graphic Experience
Free Fire Max was always intended and labeled as the version of Free Fire with better quality graphics. And it lived up to its expectations as it proved to be visually better compared to the original Free Fire game. Some of the most notable aspects indicating a much better graphic experience in Free Fire Max include the Ultra HD textures feature. Not just it enhanced the Battle-Royale elements such as the actual player avatar and game environment visuals, but also the weapon representation seen during the actual game of Free Fire Max.
In the original Free Fire game, the graphic quality is not much of a priority based on observation but prioritizes the quicker and more engaging gameplay for a Battle-Royale title. But both games also have the same gameplay, it’s just that the original one established it first. The Draw Distance is also better in Free Fire Max I must say.
Bigger Required Space
Yet one downside of having a better quality experience is requiring more phone space. The original Free Fire only requires around 500-700MB in size. While Free Fire Max requires you to have at least 1.5GB free storage and free RAM of up to 4GB to run smoothly. Still, this is understandable and normal for games with better quality graphics.
So if you’re up for the visuals, then definitely go for Free Fire Max.
Free Fire competitive side and downside
