Want early access to Free Fire OB53 Advance Server? Here's the leaked date, themes and step-by-step guide to register

With OB52 now officially live, the hype train has already switched tracks towards Free Fire OB53, and fans are buzzing with one big question: when does the OB53 Advance Server drop? As always, Garena is expected to roll out the Advance Server ahead of the global update, giving a limited group of players early access to upcoming characters, gameplay tweaks, weapons and surprise features. Will OB53 shake up the meta? Or bring long-requested quality-of-life upgrades? For eager survivors, the Advance Server isn't just early access; it's a chance to influence the final update by testing, breaking and giving feedback before the rest of the world jumps in. Let's find out.



According to InsideSport, data miners suggest that the Free Fire OB53 update may bring an exciting Gintama collaboration. If these leaks prove accurate, players can look forward to a lineup of anime-inspired cosmetic items based on the beloved series.

The rumoured crossover is said to include exclusive character bundles such as:

• The Hijikata Bundle
• Sakata Bundle

Along with a Gintama-themed fist skin. These items are expected to be released through special limited-time events and themed rewards when OB53 goes live. That said, Garena has yet to make any official announcement, so fans will need to wait for confirmation.
