Free Fire will celebrate its third anniversary in August with an event that starts on Aug. 13 and goes all the way to the end of the month. Before the event details were revealed, the OB23 update that dropped on July 29 was named 3volution in anticipation of the anniversary.
The battle royale went through server maintenance today to receive new features for the celebration. Garena promises numerous giveaways, a new look for the Bermuda map, and more than 5,000 Elite Pass codes will be shared on the game’s social media throughout the event.
