Based on just the recent updates, it can be said that Free Fire provides a better battle royale experience than BGMI. The recent Battlegrounds Mobile India update did not introduce any major changes or exciting game mode to top Garena’s flagship title.

From weapon adjustments to character skill rework, Garena Free Fire players can expect a smoother and more immersive battle royale experience than ever before. However, mobile gamers who are into realistic graphics will find BGMI a better choice.
