Garena has scheduled the official release of the game's next update on November 16, 2022. Like previous versions, the upcoming patch will likely follow a designated release schedule, which means that the game will be temporarily taken down for a maintenance break before the update gets implemented.

Additionally, Garena hasn't revealed the release time, but the update will likely follow a similar schedule as the previous ones. For example, Indian fans can expect Free Fire MAX to get the update option from 9:30 am IST onwards, and the game is usually made playable after a short maintenance period.

Apart from the release date for the OB37 update, Garena has made some big announcements regarding new additions and optimizations to the game in the November patch. Here's a list of the same:
