Battlefield Redsec Launches to Mixed Steam Reviews as BF6 Progression Gripes Mount

The low user score reflects frustration with progression requirements rather than a broad rejection of the gameplay.

Overview

  • Released Oct. 28 as a free standalone tied to Battlefield 6 Season 1, Redsec shares progression with the main game.
  • Steam now lists Redsec as Mixed after an initial Mostly Negative tag, with roughly 5,200 early reviews and just over 3,000 not recommending it.
  • A leading complaint is that weekly challenges tied to the Season 1 pass require playing Redsec, which many Battlefield 6 players say they do not want to do.
  • The mode launched without a Solos playlist, offering only Duos and Quads, prompting criticism from players unwilling to team with random squadmates.
  • Despite the score, clips and creator reactions praise the core gameplay, and reporting suggests Battlefield Studios may address challenges or playlists in future updates.
