Free Fire OB36 update download size for Android and iOS (MAX version)

Garena has unveiled the latest patch update, OB36, for its popular BR shooters -- Free Fire and its MAX version. The update buttons are now working for most devices, be it Android, iOS, or iPadOS. Hence, users can browse the application stores on their smartphones/tablets to upgrade the game to the latest version, 2.93.1 (OB36).

However, users must note that despite the update's availability for most devices, one cannot access the new version due to the ongoing maintenance break. For Indian users, the maintenance break is scheduled to end at 5:10 pm (GMT + 5:30), so players can download the update before the same.

Apart from the maintenance schedule of the Free Fire MAX OB36 update, users can also learn about its download size in the following section.
