Garena Free Fire OB36 update is currently being rolled out and interested players can head to their device's application store to install the same. Like previous iterations, the latest version is downloadable, but cannot be accessed until the end of the maintenance break. Therefore, fans must be aware of the maintenance schedule before installing the update.
The OB36 version is expected to introduce a lesser amount of content than the previous 5th Anniversary update (OB35). Nevertheless, fans can still find some exciting additions or optimizations in the game, including the Social Island, Gloo Melter Grenade, a brand new character called Tatsuya, the NeXTerra map in Clash Squad mode, weapon balance changes, and more.
Android users can find the APK download link as well as the installation procedure for the latest Free Fire/FF MAX update in the following section.

Here's a step-by-step guide that you must follow to download the latest update (version 2.93.1) on your Android devices:
Step 1: Use the links above to redirect to the game's download page in the Google Play Store.
Alternatively, you can open the Google Play Store or any brand-specific virtual store on your smartphone or tablet to browse the game's official page.
Step 2: After opening the download page, tap on the update/install button, depending upon whether you already have the game on your device or not.
Step 3: The download will take a few minutes, so you are advised to use a stable internet connection (preferably a private Wi-Fi).
Step 4: Once downloaded, the Google Play Store will automatically install the game on your device. Launch the app after the installation is complete.
Step 5: Download additional update files and log in using any preferred social media platform.
A guest login is also an available option for the users, but it doesn't provide the luxury of synchronization. Furthermore, you can lose your in-game progress upon uninstallation with a guest account.
Thus, it is advised to use a social media platform for login. If you already have a guest login account, you can attach the same with Gmail, Facebook, VK, et cetera, in the system settings.
Note: Indian users must go for Free Fire MAX instead of the original game because it has been banned in the country.
