The much-anticipated OB37 patch update for Free Fire and its MAX version was finally rolled out earlier today. The update button is now visible to almost everyone, as they can go ahead and install the latest version. However, players will only be able to access the game after the maintenance break ends, which is expected to happen by the evening.

Due to the maintenance break, the Free Fire and FF MAX servers are currently offline. Hence, despite installing the OB37 update, fans will come across a "Server will be ready soon" message. Therefore, one will have to wait a few more hours to witness the newest in-game content, including exciting additions and gameplay changes.
