Advance Servers are usually made accessible two weeks before the official update. Given that the Free Fire OB38 update will likely go live on January 10 or 11, 2022, the Advance Server may be made accessible in the last week of December or early January. However, registrations will begin a few days before the client’s release.

This date reflects the normal pattern of updates being delivered the day before or when the Clash Squad season concludes (Season 16 is set to conclude on 11 January 2022). Access to the client will remain limited, and players will have to register in advance to stand a chance of receiving the exclusive Activation Code, which is mandatory to access the client.
