The OB34 update for Free Fire is expected to go live today, i.e., 25 May. It is expected to hit almost every server all around the globe, including India, where players will receive new features via Free Fire MAX, as the government has blocked the original game since February 2022.
Like previous updates, the latest update also brings new content to the game in terms of new weapons, LINK system (Indian server), Clash Squad adjustments, Craftland additions, and many more. However, players will have to wait for a few hours once the update launches and the maintenance break begins.
Garena Free Fire OB34 update: Maintenance schedule and expected file size
The update usually launches at different time frames across all the servers globally. Once it goes online, the developers can take the servers down for a maintenance break that generally lasts for a few hours (usually four to five hours).
Some servers make the announcements regarding the maintenance schedule before the update's release, while in the case of others, fans had to speculate about the launch time.
The moderators from the MENA (the Middle East and North Africa) server have revealed in an Instagram post that the update is expected to launch at 4 am (GMT + 2) on 25 May 2022.
There hasn't been any such announcement for other servers so that players can expect a release schedule like the OB33 update. On the Indian server, where only FF MAX is receiving the update, the maintenance break began at 9.30 am and will end around 5.10 pm (IST).
Thus, users will receive the update option soon in the Google Play Store.
What will be expected download size?
The total size of the Free Fire OB34 APK file will be around 700 to 750 MB, while the update is expected to occupy a space of about 250 to 350 MB (variable for different devices). However, the exact figures will be revealed once the update goes live across all the servers.
