Free Fire OB29 update: Release date, time, features, leaks and more

The much anticipated Free Fire OB29 update will be releasing soon globally with plenty of new features. Meanwhile, Garena is currently testing the new content under the latest Advance Server, giving us insight and clues about what to expect in the next Free Fire update.

Before diving into the complete details, it’s worth noting that the servers will be taken down for maintenance for a few hours before the Free Fire OB29 update release. As a result, players will be unable to access the game servers, and the game will be stuck at the login page until the maintenance ends. Here’s everything to know about the OB29 update.

Free Fire OB29 update release date and time

Following the previous launch patterns, Free Fire OB29 update is expected to release on 4th August at 4:30 AM UTC. Players will be able to download the latest patch from Google Play Store and Apple App Store for Android and iPhone devices, respectively.

However, due to the ongoing maintenance, the players cannot enter the game even after downloading the latest update. It will probably last for 4 to 6 hours, and one would be able to play on the latest OB29 version once the server goes live.

Update Size

Gamers can update the game to the latest version once it is released globally. The upcoming Free Fire OB29 update is expected to weigh around 700 MB and probably occupy at least 1 GB of storage space after installation. Hence make sure you have enough space in your device to avoid errors and have a seamless download experience.
