Free Fire MAX OB35 update to go live on 20 July: All the details you need to know

As with every Free Fire MAX update, there will be a long break on the patch day to ensure a smooth transition to the latest version. Garena is yet to specifically post the maintenance time for the Indian server, but based on the announcements for the other servers, the expected schedule is:

• Start time: 9.30 am IST (GMT +5.30)
• End time: 4.40 pm IST (GMT +5.30)

During this time, the server will be inaccessible, and anyone attempting to enter the game will receive a message informing them that the servers will be back online shortly. The developers usually release the update on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store during the maintenance period.
