Garena Decided to Close The Free Fire Max Brazilian Server after March 21

A few days ago, Players logging in Brazil server received a Free Fire Max shutdown announcement in Portuguese from their in-game mailbox. Here's the translation version of this in-game notice in English: “To improve the experience of everyone who plays Free Fire, we will focus our resources on the original game. Therefore, effective March 21, 2023, we will stop providing maintenance and updates for the MAX version. Ensure that the account is linked to a social network to access it in the original version.”

As mentioned above, Garena will not support any patches and updates and take down any maintenance from next Tuesday. And Garena also promised that it will continue to focus on its original game development and strive to deliver a better game experience to its global fans.

Brazilian Players Can Turn to The Original Game for March 22 Update

“As part of efforts to improve the experience of Brazilian Free Fire players, we request that everyone follow the next game updates in the original Free Fire application starting March 21, 2023. Brazilian Free Fire Max users can link their guest accounts using social media login or email until March 21, 2023. Download Free Fire now from the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS) and link your account,” stated a spokesperson from Free Fire Mania Brazil.

According to the speech above made in public, it's obvious to see that the Free Fire Max will not be available to login after March 21 with a Brazilian IP. And players who want to have a taste of the March 22 update have to link their Free Fire Max accounts to the original game before the release of the next update.

The sudden change of the Free Fire Max Shutdown in Brazil forced Indian Players to think about the future. Admittedly, Garena Free Fire Max is shutting down in Brazil after March 21, but it did not mention the shutdown of the game in any other countries and regions, including India. Also, Free Fire Max Indian players have not received such an email in their in-game email box and the game is still available in Google Play. Thus, Free Fire Max Indian users can stop worrying about a possible shutdown of the Free Fire Max Indian server.
