- Garena Free City has already reached over 1 million downloads on mobile even without a global release.
- The game offers GTA-style open-world with gangster-themed story, missions, and activities.
- You can take part in shootouts, enjoy car chases, explore multiplayer modes, and customize your gear, vehicles, and character.
Garena Mobile Private Limited has now expanded the soft launch of its GTA-like open-world RPG, Garena Free City, to the Philippines on both Android and iOS. The game originally had early access in Thailand and Indonesia, and later soft-launched in Argentina, with pre-registration going live in April 2025.
Dive into a chaotic gangster world and conquer it by any means
I hope you have not forgotten about Garena Free City yet. This new GTA-style open-world adventure RPG has already crossed over 1 million downloads on the Play Store, and has now expanded to one more region, letting fans try all sorts of wild activities in both multiplayer PvP and challenging PvE modes.
First of all, the story takes place against a Western gangster theme, like the GTA series, where you team up with allies to take down various gang bosses, all while surviving intense shootouts, car chases, and even undercover assassinations. Here too, your main goal is to take control of this city of freedom.
You can customize vehicles and weapons, and team up with friends for unique quests
While character and car customizations are always fun in games like this, as you get to choose from diverse sports cars, convertibles, large cargo vehicles, and more. Here, you can also tweak your weapons for better firepower, quality, and looks. I mean, you need it for gang fights or multiplayer modes.
Overall, I found the game really fun and promising as a long-time GTA-series fan, and let’s see if this one gets a global launch before GTA VI? The content is great, and the game looks very polished, unlike other GTA-inspired titles. And you can even try team quests with your friends and enjoy activities like bumper car battles, bank heists, and more.
Garena Free City expands soft launch to the Philippines while already being available in Argentina. You can now download the game via your respective Google Play Store or App Store. Stay tuned for more updates regarding the global launch.
