Release schedule for Free Fire OB31 update

Garena never reveals the exact time of release of its updates. Players can head over to the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store to keep track of the update’s arrival.

It usually rolls out a few hours into the maintenance period. Hence, Free Fire gamers can expect the OB31 update to be available around the following times given below:

• India - 10.00 am IST to 11.30 am IST (UTC +5:30).
• Indonesia: 11.30 am to 1 pm WIB (UTC +7:00)
• Brazil: 1.30 am to 3 am BRT (UTC -3:00)
• Europe: 6.30 am to 8 am CEST (UTC +3:00)
• North America: 4 December, 12.30 am to 2 am EDT (UTC -4:00)

They can update to the latest version but cannot enjoy the game before the maintenance time gets over. Since the arrival of the patch also depends on the device that users have, they can use APK and OBB files to get the update sooner.

The expected size of the update will range between 600 to 700 MB.
