Free Fire OB36 Advance Server: Download date, registration, and more

Garena's prominent action title, Free Fire, is filled with exciting features. Developers actively push upgrades to in-game content to provide gamers with a fresh experience. They launch a major update to the game approximately every two months.

Introducing new features directly to the official version of the game is not good practice as they may have glitches and bugs. To ensure the official version is defect-free, Garena also releases a temporary server called the Advance Server, which allows users to test all the forthcoming features in advance.

Disclaimer: The Indian government has banned Free Fire in the country. Consequently, players from the nation should not play the same title. They should play the MAX variant instead, which does not have any restrictions.
