Free Fire OB29 update

Release date and time

The expected release date for the Free Fire OB29 update is August 4th-5th, 2021. This is based on the pattern which was observed in the previous few patches. These were released a day before the end of the current ranked season.

Considering that the season ends on August 5th, it is expected that the update can go live a day prior, i.e., August 4th. In addition to this, in the previous few patches, a new Gold Royale started on the same day as the update. Taking this into consideration, the updates might be released on August 5th.

There is a maintenance break on the day of the update, during which the game is inaccessible. This usually begins around 9:30 PM IST (GMT +5:30) and ends around 5:00 PM IST (GMT +5:30). Usually, the patch is available for download a few hours into the update. It is expected to be released around 11:30 AM IST (GMT +5:30).
