Step 3: After that, players will have to enter an active email address. Upon doing so, click on the Confirm button to complete the registration process for the Advance Server.

Upon successful registration, players will have to wait for the activation code. Unfortunately, there are a limited number of slots in the Advance Server and only lucky players who register for the server receive the activation code. This code is used to access the Advance Server and test out new features by directly downloading the APK from the official website.

Players must refrain from trusting fake websites that offer free activation codes and Advance Server APK files. The only legitimate way to gain access to the Advance Server is by registering on the official Free Fire website.

It should be noted that neither the Advance Server nor the OB38 update's release date has been officially announced yet. The dates shown above are based on historical patterns. Since the website won't go live until a few weeks before the server launches, it's currently inaccessible.
