URGENT: Free Fire will have players with old and updated versions at the same time

This Tuesday (30), the day before the Free Fire May 2023 update , the Free Fire Mania portal had access to a developer who takes care of updating Garena 's Battle Royale with exclusive information. From now on, players don't need to update the game the same day a new version comes out.

In general, as of the new Free Fire update , Garena will allow players to continue playing with the previous version of the game for a few days. For example, players of the OB39 version will be able to continue playing even with the new OB40 version available for download from the App Store or Google Play app stores.

Unlike previous updates, when everyone was required to download the new version to be able to enter Free Fire, players will have a deadline to download the new version and will be able to continue playing in the old one until the end of that period.

It is worth noting that the OB40 version will be updated for Free Fire this Wednesday, May 31st . This will help optimize the players' experience, it will be the first time that Free Fire will not need to close for maintenance . Free Fire Mania informs you about the new update process for the OB40 update.

New stage of FF update

During the period from May 31st to June 2nd , players will be able to optionally update Free Fire to the new version (OB40), only after June 2nd will they be required to update the game's APK .

During this period, the Free Fire server will NOT be closed, players can experience OB39 normally (by selecting the “update later” button), however, some of the following features will not be available until the update to OB40:

  • ranked mode
  • Graphics
  • Profiles of other players
  • Achievements System
  • pass Booyah
  • new lobby
  • in-game events
  • Cannot play with players who have logged into the OB40 version

This is to ensure that players' gaming experience is uninterrupted and each player can choose the update time they want. However, we recommend that you update to the new Free Fire OB40 version as soon as possible to experience the most optimized features.

When will the Free Fire update be mandatory?

  • Estimated time: From 5:00 am on 02.06.2023 (the above time will be subject to change beforehand)
  • From this point forward, all players must upgrade to OB40 to play.
  • Players who have not updated will be forced out if they are still in the lobby or playing after the advertised time.

Finally, unlike previous Free Fire updates, this Wednesday (31) a new version will be available for download, but the game servers will remain open and players can play with both versions.
