Emulator lobby and restrictions

After the OB31 update, the developers released an essential change on the Indian server of Free Fire MAX as well as the regular version. The creation of a separate dedicated matchmaking pool for emulator users in ranked BR and CS modes was important for maintaining the integrity of the ranked mode.

Garena made this change as playing the battle royale title on PC with a mouse and keyboard is very different from that of mobile devices. Since emulators have become widely popular, this step was necessary for levelling the playing field for all.

After this adjustment, the entire squad will only be matched with other emulator users, even if only one member uses it. Emulator-users will be identifiable with a symbol in the lobby and a notification.
