Free Fire leaves Google Play Games on PC; understand what changes

The PC version of Free Fire will leave Google Play Games on October 29th. See what's changing, how to migrate, and how to keep your progress without losing your account.

Google Play Games (GPG), the official Google emulator for running mobile games on computers, will stop offering the PC version of Free Fire starting on October 29. While this change raises concerns, there are alternatives: according to the notice displayed in the game, players can continue playing by downloading Free Fire MAX within GPG. Thus, those playing on desktop can remain in the official ecosystem.

However, to avoid any losses, it is essential to take action now. Before the update, players should link the guest account to a platform account (Google, Facebook, Apple, VK, etc.). This way, progress will remain accessible after the transition. In other words, the change affects only the PC version within Google Play Games; the mobile app remains, and the experience with Free Fire (FF) and content from Garena continues normally on other devices.
