Free Fire OB33 update maintenance schedule and server downtime

After several months, the OB33 patch, the second major Free Fire update in 2022, is finally being released, bringing a range of new features and improvements. The new Link System is the most exciting feature in the latest version, as gamers can obtain free characters by playing games.

On the other hand, the release of the Credit System will result in a better overall gaming environment, while improved character and weapon balance will lead to enhanced gameplay. However, before players can experience the new features, there will be a maintenance break where they cannot access the game.

Note: Free Fire is banned in India, and individuals from the country should refrain from installing or playing the game. Since Free Fire MAX is not on the list of prohibited applications, they may still use it.
