Free Fire has added another major industry recognition to its growing list of achievements. At the Pocket Gamer Mobile Games Awards 2026, held during Gamescom week in Cologne, the Free Fire x NARUTO SHIPPUDEN Chapter 2: Ninja War collaboration was named the winner of the Best Use of IP or Licence category. The award highlights how effectively Garena integrated one of the world’s most popular anime franchises into its battle royale experience, creating something that felt authentic to both Free Fire players and Naruto fans.

This recognition arrives at a significant moment for the game. The original Naruto collaboration was already one of Free Fire’s most successful crossovers, and the Chapter 2 expansion raised the bar even higher. Winning a respected international award validates the creative and commercial impact of the partnership while also setting the stage for the upcoming return of Chapter 1 content in September 2026.
