Free Fire MAX OB41 update, server status, features, and rewards

Following the massive success of three major patches in 2023, Garena is all set to release the Free Fire MAX OB41 update. The developer has fixed various issues to bring new and enhanced content to players. While a few testers have already gotten a taste of the new features and additions in the OB41 Advance Server (which ended a few days ago), fans worldwide will get to enjoy them soon.

The features of the Free Fire MAX OB41 update are expected to make great changes to the game's battle royale experience. The patch will be available on both Apple App Store (for iOS users) and Google Play Store (for Android users).
