Battlefield 6 RedSec: The Free Battle Royale Mode
After months of speculation, Electronic Arts and DICE have officially confirmed that Battlefield 6 RedSec, the new free-to-play Battle Royale mode, will go live tomorrow alongside the launch of Season 1.
This marks a new era for the Battlefield franchise — a shift toward large-scale, competitive, and community-driven gameplay.
RedSec blends the intensity of Battle Royale combat with the chaos, realism and destruction that define Battlefield. Hundreds of players, massive maps, vehicles, tactical coordination, and the series’ signature cinematic scale will define this release.
Global, free and cross-platform launch
Starting tomorrow, players on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can download and play Battlefield 6 RedSec for free.
The free-to-play model removes all entry barriers and positions Battlefield among the most accessible shooters on the market.
Launch features will include:
- Exclusive week-one rewards for early players.
- Progression challenges unlocking cosmetics, vehicles, and weapons.
- A cosmetic-only Battle Pass, ensuring no pay-to-win mechanics.
- Shared progression between RedSec and the base Battlefield 6 campaign.
EA aims for sustainability and fairness, rewarding dedication rather than purchases.
RedSec’s identity: a Battlefield-style Battle Royale
While inspired by genre classics, Battlefield 6 RedSec brings distinct elements to stand out in a crowded market:
- Enormous destructible maps powered by Frostbite technology.
- Dynamic weather systems altering visibility and strategy mid-battle.
- Controllable vehicles, from tanks to helicopters, fully integrated into Battle Royale gameplay.
- Team-based revival objectives, allowing fallen players to rejoin the fight.

This fusion of spectacle and strategy could redefine how large-scale shooters approach Battle Royale design.
EA’s long-term strategy: rebuilding Battlefield’s dominance
After a mixed reception of past entries, EA and DICE are betting on RedSec to rejuvenate the brand.
By adopting a live-service model and offering a high-quality free experience, Battlefield opens its doors to millions of new players while retaining its veteran base.
RedSec isn’t just a new mode — it’s the cornerstone of Battlefield’s new era: a platform for evolving content, community events, and long-term engagement.
