After another thrilling season, Garena has released details for the upcoming Free Fire esports roadmap. Accordingly, with the return of the Free Fire World Series, let’s take a look at the coming season and discuss the future of Free Fire esports.
Free Fire Esports Roadmap 2025 – Key Events
To summarize the coming season, here’s a look at the graphic courtesy of Free Fire Esports displaying the Free Fire esports roadmap:
Overall, the competitive season involves five major regions:
- Southeast Asia (SEA)
- Brazil
- LATAM
- Middle East and Africa
- Pakistan
Within each region, multiple iterations of competitions decide which teams earn a spot at international tournaments which feature the best Free Fire odds.
Notably, Free Fire Esports returns to the Esports World Cup after a successful 2024 iteration with a $1,050,000 prize pool. In addition, while the venue for the FFWS Global Finals is yet to be confirmed for 2025, it’s very likely that the esport could try to capitalize on the love from the Middle East and Pakistan.
Free Fire Esports 2024 – Rebounding
In 2021, Free Fire esports stunned the world when the FFWS Global Finals racked up a peak viewership of 5,415,990, breaking the industry record.
Since then though, Free Fire hasn’t managed to maintain this peak and as time passes, it appears to be more and more like a fluke. To demonstrate, this year’s FFWS Global Finals viewership numbers compared to all-time depict an esports which is definitely past its prime:
- #1 – FFWS 2021 Singapore – 5,415,990
- #2 – FFWS Continental Series 2020 Asia – 2,566,046
- #3 – FFWS 2019 Rio – 2,016,157
- #15 – FFWS Global Finals 2024 – 751,237
While it may look grim, viewership increased from 2023 which was an all-time low for Free Fire.
In addition, since 2022, the prize pools for international tournaments have decreased slightly as Garena has tried to make the esport more sustainable.
Considering the trajectory of Free Fire esports, 2025 will be a crucial year which may determine the longevity of the esport.
