When will the next Free Fire update be released?

It has been almost a month since Garena rolled out Free Fire's OB36 patch. The release date of the next version, OB37, is getting closer and players can expect the upcoming update to arrive sometime in mid-November, around the culmination of the Clash Squad Ranked Season 15.

The previous updates have been rather exciting in terms of features, as OB36 introduced a new character, Tatsuya, alongside several other optimizations and additions. Similarly, OB35 was centered around the 5th Anniversary celebrations, as fans got to enjoy an in-game Justin Bieber concert.

If past trends are to be trusted, players can expect plenty of new in-game content to arrive in Free Fire with the OB37 update.

It should be noted that these assumptions are speculative in nature and are not officially confirmed.

Developers have followed the trend of releasing each OB (Open Beta) update very close to the end of a Clash Squad Ranked Season. The OB36 update arrived on September 21, 2022, one day before the conclusion of CS Ranked Season 14. Similarly, Garena scheduled the rollout for OB35 on July 20, a day before Season 13 came to an end.

If everything goes according to plan, Free Fire players should expect the launch of OB37 to occur sometime around November 15 or 16, as Clash Squad Ranked Season 15 ends on November 16, 2022. Furthermore, the release date will likely remain uniform across all servers, including India, where only FF MAX is active.
