"The Garena team has worked on the game with tons of new features and elements for Operation Chrono."
Ronaldo, 35, is seen playing the game during a commercial advertisement for the game, which was developed by 111Dots Studio, and will be released on Dec. 19.
"Free Fire," a battle royale game that is available on PlayStore for Android and on the App Store for IOS users for free, became the most downloaded mobile game in the world in 2019.
Ronaldo will face Barcelona's Lionel Messi for the first time since he left Real Madrid in 2018 to join Juventus when the two sides meet in Tuesday's Champions League clash.
