As already mentioned, the update will arrive today, i.e., on 23 March 2022, and the timings for the rollout will be different around the globe. The MAX variant will be the only game receiving the update in the Indian server, where Free Fire has been banned.

Indian players can expect the maintenance break around 10.00 - 11.00 am (IST). Although the developers haven't revealed the end time for the break, players can expect it to last around six to seven hours. Here's what the devs had to say:

"Dear Survivors,

To optimize your gaming experience, we will be conducting server maintenance on 23rd March 10:00 - 11:00 (GMT + 5:30). You will not be able to login to the game during this period. Players who are not logged in and online before this time will not be affected."

Developers further explained that the players of the MAX variant don't need to download the update. However, if prompted, they can follow the required process.

"For most Free Fire Max players, there is no need to update the game after the maintenance. You will be able to play immediately after the maintenance ends."

"If an update is required, you can follow the instructions shown to you. Please also ensure that Google Play Store country has been set as India in order to update successfully."

The release timing for regions other than India, as per their server time, is given as follows:

• Bangladesh - 5.30 am
• Malaysia - 12.00 pm
• South Africa, West Africa, and surrounding regions - 6.00 am

Other expected release timings for various servers (as per server time):

• Nepal – 10.45 am
• England – 5.30 am
• USA – 1.30 am
• Indonesia – 12.30 pm
• Japan – 2.30 pm
• Brazil – 2.30 pm
• Europe – 6.30 am

Once the maintenance break ends, players will be able to access the game and enjoy the new content. Garena will also send compensation rewards to players via Free Fire's in-game mail.
