The creator of mobile Free Fire, announced it’s adding an updated version of the game’s Bomb Squad which places emphasis on team strategy. It’s also adding a new map next week. The new Bomb Squad gameplay is 5v5, and one team defends the bomb while the other attempts to defuse it. Free Fire is also getting a new map for Bomb Squad. The new map got a special focus trailer on YouTube and rolls out on June 10. In addition to the above, Free Fire players get a special event that runs from June 10 to June 16. The event will feature extra rewards, including one for players who log in on June 11. A recent Data.ai report revealed that Free Fire continues its streak as most-downloaded mobile game. Bomb Squad is currently available for players on both iOS and Android. Game's creed when covering the game industry is "where passion meets business." What does this mean? We want to tell you how the news matters to you -- not just as a decision-maker at a game studio, but also as a fan of games.

One popular example is Clash Squad, a simple four-vs-four match that allows for quicker matches. Then there's the more outlandish Pet Mania, where players are transformed into animals and compete in a series of races and challenges, either in teams or on their own. "Competition is definitely something that we are very used to here in the mobile gaming space. Apps are being launched on the App Store every day. So, I think what's more important for Game and specifically Free Fire, is to be focused on what we are doing, and not be led by what other people are doing. We have specific objectives in mind, which are to make the game as accessible as possible, reach a wide audience, and serve our users." When pressed further on what he means by 'accessible,' He says the priority is to serve by fitting into the small pockets of time where people are free to play games on their phone. "The longest any Free Fire match lasts for is 20 minutes," he says. "Some game modes -- like Clash Squad -- are much shorter than that. You might play for ten minutes, five minutes, but the longest might be 20 minutes. If you compare that to some of our competitors, it's pretty short." The original Free Fire in 2017 was only 20 to ensure it could fit onto almost any phone. "If our game is 4 or 8 something, then people have to think twice about installing," he says. "They have to delete some apps on their phone, and sometimes even the entire phone capacity might not be able to fit that sort of game. Even today, one of the team's priorities is to make the app as lightweight as possible." Keeping the game lightweight is also one of three key factors that credits for Free Fire's ongoing ability to attract new users, maintaining its position as the most downloaded game.
