Free Fire OB26 update: Expected release time

Recently, Free Fire posted the maintenance break schedule in India in a recent social media post, which says:

"Get ready for the new update coming soon. Maintenance will begin tomorrow starting at 9:3 AM - 6:00 PM (IST). During this time, you will not be able to enter the game, but you can continue playing as usual and experience the new patch as soon as you update after the maintenance. Look forward to an updated Training Map, Revival System, Clash Squad, and more!"

Evidently, the maintenance break timing in India will be from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM (IST) today. Therefore, players can expect the update on Play Store at around 1:00 PM (IST). They can access the game after the server maintenance break at around 6:30 PM (IST).
