Gameplay and game modes
Free Fire and PUBG Mobile belong to the same genre but provide different experiences. PUBG Mobile has a more serious tone with a classic and realistic shooter game feel, while Free Fire uses other concepts like character abilities, weapon skins, pets, and more.
Both games have various multiplayer modes, but PUBG Mobile offers more versatility and maps than Free Fire. However, matches in Free Fire conclude more rapidly and smoothly than PUBG Mobile due to fewer players per match.

In terms of graphic optimization, PUBG Mobile is a clear winner because of its superior specifications. The objects and weapons look more realistic in PUBG Mobile with better mechanics.
However, Garena has done a brilliant job in Free Fire and has provided excellent results with a compact size. Free Fire cannot compete with PUBG Mobile in mechanics, but it does a fair job for a small game.
