Garena has followed the trend of rolling out OB updates for its flagship BR shooter a day prior to the culmination of the ongoing Clash Squad Rank Season. Rank Season roughly has a duration of almost one-and-a-half to two months, which provides ample time for developers to bring new optimizations.

There is a high chance that fans will encounter the launch of the upcoming OB34 update a day before the end date of the ongoing CS Rank Season. Currently, the 12th season is active, which will end on May 25 2022. Thus, fans should expect the release date for the OB34 update to be 24 May 2022.

Readers can take a look at the expected launch time for different servers below:

• Bangladesh: 10:00 - 11:00 AM
• Nepal: 10:00 - 11:00 AM

The Free Fire servers will go offline at a given time and return online after a maintenance break, which may last for hours. However, the duration of the break also depends upon the number of additions or adjustments rolled out via a specific Free Fire update.

The unreleased content that is meant to arrive in the OB34 version will be unveiled via the week-long Advance Server that Garena usually launches a week or two before the update's release.
