Free Fire will make a comeback in Esports World Cup 2025. Fans can expect some crazy action in next summer in Riyadh.
Guess what? Free Fire, the super popular mobile battle royale game, is coming back to the Esports World Cup (EWC) in 2025. If you’ve been following esports, you know Free Fire always brings crazy action, and next summer in Riyadh, it’s going to happen all over again.
Free Fire in Esports World Cup 2025
Free Fire was a huge hit in the 2024 Esports World Cup, with a whopping $1 million prize pool. The finals back then were on July 14, 2024, and Team Falcons from Saudi Arabia took home the trophy. These guys didn’t just win—they dominated! Falcons scored two Booyahs and pulled off some epic moves in the final matches. Players like Peter and Onemore made the crowd go wild with their amazing performances, and Peter even bagged a $50,000 Player Bounty.
Oh, and here’s a cool fact: winning this tournament gave Team Falcons a spot in the Free Fire World Series Global Finals 2024, which just wrapped up in Brazil.
Why Is Free Fire Returning?
Free Fire is one of the most loved games worldwide. With over 1 billion downloads and 200 million people playing every month, it’s no surprise they’re bringing it back. Plus, the 2024 EWC Free Fire event was a viewership smash, hitting a peak of 471,483 viewers. Even though the record was broken later by the Free Fire World Series, it’s clear people can’t get enough of this game.
Let’s not forget the epic moments from this year. Falcons’ victory was insane, and Moshi from Buriram United Esports shined as the tournament’s MVP. His skills were off the charts! And, of course, the $1 million prize pool made it one of the biggest events for Free Fire fans.
What About the EWC 2025 Tournament?
We don’t know all the details yet, like the prize pool or whether the winner will qualify for other big events. But if it’s anything like last time, expect intense matches, massive prizes, and unforgettable moments.
The Esports World Cup Foundation, which organizes this mega event, has also confirmed other big games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Warzone, and Honor of Kings for 2025. So, Free Fire will be in great company.
Moreover, the EWC 2025 is happening in Riyadh, just like last time. The tournament is supported by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, so it’s no surprise they’re hosting it there. While some people have criticized this because of Saudi Arabia’s human rights record, the tournament itself has always delivered top-notch esports action.
Overall, Free Fire coming back to the Esports World Cup is a win for gamers everywhere. Whether you’re a pro or just love watching the action, the 2025 event is shaping up to be something special.
