This latest release replaces the previous G99*BXXS4CVD2 build on the international devices.
Changelog
It is a FOTA, (Firmware Over The Air), update and you can check... Settings > Software update... to see if it is available for you. Alternatively, you can connect to the Samsung PC suite, Smart Switch and check via that.

[UPDATE] Mon: 09 MAY 2022. 08.22hrs UTC/GMT
As anticipated, Samsung are still not currently showing this update for the U.K. carrier branded models on the following CSC codes...
To locate your device's CSC code, go to...
Settings > About phone > Software information > Service provider software version
The screenshot shows CSC code BTU for a U.K. stock, non-carrier branded, Samsung device.
Carrier branded devices should receive this release once the carriers have certified them for Samsung to release.

The next update for stock, unbranded, U.K. is likely in the next few days on CVF2 release.
As for O2 carrier branded devices, it could be another week to 10 days after that for carrier certification.
