During the award, Free Fire Producer, Harold Teo from Garena said that the company is truly "humbled and honoured" for winning the award. He also went on to dedicate the win and thank the fans, players and partners for bringing the mobile game to new heights. Free Fire is a battle royale game like PUBG Mobile, but it seems to be more popular in India.
Mobile games certainly proved as a force to be reckoned with, as more Asian people relied on them for entertainment during the pandemic. What are your favourite mobile games? Let us know in the comments below and stay tuned for more trending tech news at TechNave.com.
