The maintenance schedule for different servers have been revealed as follows:

• India: 10.00 am - 11.00 am (the MAX variant)

Gamers can notice the maintenance break for the Indian region is only one hour, probably because of Garena's different plans for India after the ban of their flagship BR title. In this country, players will be able to upgrade Free Fire MAX and, in some cases, need not update their apps.

Here's what the developers have to say about the latest maintenance break in the Indian server:

"Dear Survivors. To optimize your gaming experience, we will be conducting server maintenance on 23rd March from 10.00 - 11.00 (GMT + 5:30). You will not be able to log in to the game during this period. Players who are not logged in and online before this time will not be affected. For most Free Fire Max players, there is no need to update the game after the maintenance. You will be able to play immediately after the maintenance ends. If an update is required, you can follow the instructions shown to you. Please also ensure that Google Play Store country has been set as India in order to update successfully."
