Free Fire Lite for Android: Is it legal?

Garena, the developers of Free Fire, often bring regular updates to the game to enhance the overall gameplay experience for their users. Several changes are brought to the game with each update, making it heavier in terms of size and graphics. This makes it difficult for low-end devices to run the renowned battle royale game efficiently.

Users with low-end phones have subsequently been on the lookout for ways to play Free Fire without burdening their devices. In the process of doing so, many of them have resorted to the use of modded versions of the game like Free Fire Lite.

In this article, we discuss the legality of Free Fire Lite and the consequences of using such a version of the game.

What is Free Fire Lite?
