EA Launches Battlefield REDSEC, a Free Battle Royale Tied to Battlefield 6 Season 1

The standalone release links progression with Battlefield 6 to boost cross‑mode engagement.

Overview

  • REDSEC is live on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S following an October 28 global rollout aligned to Season 1.
  • Matches host up to 100 players with Duos or Squads team sizes, and there is no Solo queue at launch.
  • Fort Lyndon, billed as Battlefield’s largest map, features large‑scale destruction, vehicles, in‑match missions, and an instant‑kill closing ring.
  • The new Gauntlet mode runs elimination tournaments where eight squads race through five‑minute, round‑based objectives.
  • Progression and the Season 1 battle pass are shared with Battlefield 6, including Portal support, while early player feedback cites strong gameplay alongside complaints about forced pass objectives, lack of solo play, and server performance.
