Even though players can play Free Fire on their PC using an emulator, the developers have brought in several changes regarding matchmaking. This has been implemented to provide a fair and better gaming experience.

After the OB31 update, the developers launched a special emulator matchmaking pool that applies to BR and CS ranked mode. This implies that even if only one emulator user in the team in the game modes mentioned, they would be paired with other emulator users.
