Free Fire updates infuse the game with new elements and content that further elevate the entire experience, retaining gamers' interest for several days. It is no surprise that the OB32 update includes a comprehensive list of new features and improvements, many of which are already familiar to them.

Nonetheless, it is essential to remember that there is a maintenance break today, and the servers are already offline. Consequently, players will have to wait for the servers to come back online before continuing to play their favorite game.


Free Fire OB32 update maintenance duration and schedule

For most Free Fire updates, the maintenance schedule is communicated to players via posts on the game's official social media pages one day before the release of the patch. This time around is no exception, as the developers have already announced the timings for the scheduled break, which are as follows:

  • Maintenance start date and time - 9:30 am IST (GMT +5:30) on 19 January 2022
  • Maintenance end date and time - 5:00 pm IST (GMT +5:30) on 19 January 2022

Although users can generally download the update a few hours into the maintenance period, they will not be permitted access to the servers until the break concludes. They will see an error message every time they attempt to enter the game.

There is no workaround and it will be resolved automatically with the end of the maintenance break.
