Battlefield 6 RedSec — How to Download the New Free-to-Play Battle Royale
What Is RedSec?
Battlefield 6’s new free-to-play Battle Royale, RedSec, is finally here — combining massive-scale destruction, tactical squad combat, and the signature chaos only Battlefield can deliver. Players can drop in now on all major platforms at no cost.
Unlike Call of Duty: Warzone, which favors close-quarters respawns, RedSec leans into Battlefield’s sandbox — vehicles, collapsing structures, and wide-open combat zones. It’s also a redemption arc after 2019’s Firestorm, DICE’s first BR experiment that never took off due to being locked behind a paywall. This time, RedSec is open, evolving, and built for everyone.

Quick Setup Tips

- For smoother performance, install RedSec on an SSD.
- On first launch, verify shaders in-game before jumping into a live match to prevent stutters.
