The Free Fire MAX OB35 update is edging closer with every passing day, and excitement is at an all-time high. As per the information revealed by the developers, the new version will be made available on 20 July, i.e., tomorrow.

Users are looking forward to experimenting with the several new features that will be added to the battle royale title following the patch. They will be able to discover a new weapon - Bizon, use a Replay Highlights function, and much more.

However, as is customary on update day, Garena will take down the servers for maintenance to smoothly transition to the new version. The following section details the update's maintenance, downtime, and release.

Note: Free Fire is banned in India, and users from the country should avoid participating in the battle royale title. They may play FF MAX instead, which was not on the list of banned apps.

Updates for Free Fire usually get released a few hours into the maintenance break. Consequently, with the timings mentioned above in mind, the release time for the Free Fire OB35 update should be around 11.30 am IST (GMT +5.30).

Players will then have to use the Google Play Store and Apple App Store to download the new version of the game on their devices. Nevertheless, even after completing the download, they will have to wait for the maintenance period to end before they can play the game again.
