Garena released its flagship battle royale game, Free Fire , in 2017, and it became an instant hit with fans. Survival shooter's target audience was mobile gamers using low-end devices, especially Android users. Thus, the game has registered more than a billion installations on the Google Play Store.

However, over time, the game has become heavier, causing many players with 2GB RAM devices to move on to other low-end options. Thus, a new game like Sigma Battle Royale , which offers an insanely similar gameplay experience and features like Free Fire in a 280MB size, has become a hit with FF fans.

New Sigma Battle Royale, with relatively smaller download size, becomes instant hype among Free Fire fans

Reportedly, the game was seen on the Play Store and even racked up around 500K installs within 48 hours of its launch via early access. However, according to various publications, Sigma has violated Google's Developer Program Policy .
