Gamers can take a few weeks to get accustomed to playing Free Fire on PC. But once done, they can easily wreak havoc on the battlefield. This is because, against mobile gamers, PC players have numerous advantages since they have a bigger screen that helps them spot enemies easily, and external devices such as a mouse and keyboard that make firing and dodging enemy attacks simultaneously possible.

Note that playing on PC won't make your esports career, as tournament organizers don't allow such players' entry. That said, you can go ahead if you're a casual player.

Let's look at how you can download Free Fire with and without an emulator on your PC.

Disclaimer: Free is banned in India. Readers in the region are advised against playing the game. Instead, they can play Free Fire Max, an India-exclusive and legal variant.

What is the perfect FPS setting for Free Fire Max?

Setting a perfect Frame Per Second (FPS) can be a mind-bending task. The high FPS gives you a better frame rate or smoothness; it can also heat up your device and make your game choppy if using a low-end device. Numerous PC gamers boast their high 150 or even 200 FPS, unaware of the fact that mobile games do not support more than 90 FPS.

By keeping these things in mind, you should adjust your FPS while also considering the Refresh Rate of your monitor.
