Free Fire updates are released about every two months to keep the game engaging and fresh. These have generally followed a set pattern of being released just a day prior to the completion of the existing Clash Squad ranked season.

The current Clash Squad Season 10 concludes on 20 January 2022. As a result of the pattern mentioned above, players may expect the update to be issued on 19 January 2022.

Generally, Garena starts rolling out the update a few hours after the maintenance has started. Based on this information, the update might be available for download roughly around 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. IST (GMT +5:30).

Maintenance schedule

Free Fire servers are taken offline for maintenance every patch day, which ensures a smooth transition to the latest version.

Usually, the maintenance time starts around 9 to 9:30 a.m. IST (GMT +5:30), and the break runs until 5 to 6 p.m. IST (GMT +5:30). During this phase, players cannot access the game and subsequently encounter an error while attempting to run the game. All they have to do is wait for the maintenance to end.

This is just an expected release date, time and maintenance schedule since the developers have not yet announced the release date of the OB32 release. Garena usually reveals the release date for updates a few days in advance; on the other hand, the announcement for the maintenance schedule is done a day prior to the update.
