Why is Free Fire not working today?

Free Fire is not working right now as the developers have taken down the game servers for maintenance. Players will only be able to access the battle royale title after the maintenance period ends.

Free Fire's official social media post regarding the maintenance period reads:

"Dear survivors, tomorrow is our patch day! Please be noted that we will close the game from 9:30 am IST to 6:00 pm IST tomorrow. During this time, you will not be able to log in to the game. However, after the maintenance ends, you may update the game from the Google play store or App Store and play as usual. The wait may be long, but it will be worth the wait! Thank you for your understanding and patience."

As per the post, the Free Fire servers will be down from 9:30 AM IST to 6:00 PM IST (GMT +5.30).

Players will receive 2x Diamond Royale Vouchers and 2x Weapon Royale Vouchers for updating the game. The rewards can be collected by navigating through the events section and clicking on the "Login Rewards" tab.
