There is quite a lengthy server downtime on the day of the patch update. Specific servers go offline for players due to maintenance and again come online after a few hours.

Even if users update the application on their devices, they will not be able to access the new content until the servers go live; fans should have a bit of patience on the day of the update.

Based on how long previous server downtimes have been, the following is the most tentative timeframe for OB35's maintenance:

• Start time: 9:00 am - 9:30 am IST (UTC +5:30)
• End time: 5:00 pm - 6.00 pm IST (UTC +5:30)

It should be remembered that the mentioned time period is not officially confirmed yet. This specific period should be corroborated by officials on the launch date of the update or one day before. Fans should keep themselves active on Free Fire's various social media handles to stay informed.
