Next Free Fire MAX update release date (OB39), new Advance Server, and more

Garena releases new Free Fire MAX updates every few months to provide variety, keep the game engaging, and retain the player base with new features.

The OB38 version was the first update of the year, and it has set the tone for the updates to follow in the coming months.

The Free Fire MAX OB39 update is next in line and is slated to go live this month. Garena began its preparations for the patch as they opened registrations for the Advance Server, a special client to test the new features.

Going by the previous trend of the updates, the release date for the Free Fire MAX OB39 patch can be predicted with a fair amount of accuracy. The updates will be rolled out either on the day of the completion of the CS-Ranked Season or a day prior.

With Season 17 slated to conclude on March 22, 2023, players can expect Garena to release the update on March 21 or 22.

On the day of the update, the servers are taken offline to ensure smooth implementation, and consequently, the game remains unavailable for the entire duration. However, the patch is rolled out during this maintenance.

Disclaimer: The OB39 update dates provided above are estimates based on previous updates and are not yet confirmed or announced by Garena. It will be a few days before the developers officially confirm this.
