Battlefield 6 RedSec is ready to expand the franchise’s reach with a free-to-play multiplayer experience launching alongside Battlefield 6 Season 1. This new mode introduces large-scale battle royale combat, modern warfare chaos, and a massive new map named Fort Lyndon. Players across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC can prepare to dive in once pre-loads go live later today.
For those who already own Battlefield 6, accessing RedSec is a simple process. You will need to download the latest game update, version 1.1.0, and then head to your library. Under Battlefield 6, you’ll find the option to manually install specific game components—this includes RedSec, the single-player campaign, and the standard multiplayer mode. For players who do not own Battlefield 6, RedSec will be available separately as a free download across all supported platforms. Links for pre-loading will be updated as soon as they are live globally.
The newly revealed Fort Lyndon map has been officially confirmed as the arena for Battlefield RedSec. The map appears designed for large-scale encounters, featuring diverse combat zones suitable for infantry, vehicle, and aerial skirmishes. The specific dimensions have not been disclosed.
To mark the launch of Battlefield RedSec Season 1, Electronic Arts has announced a new Twitch Drop campaign running from October 28 at 8 a.m. PT to November 4 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Players can unlock a variety of cosmetic items by simply watching participating creators on Twitch. To participate, viewers must first link their EA and Twitch accounts, after which they can begin earning rewards by tuning in to Battlefield RedSec streams.
Here is the full breakdown of available rewards:
- Watch 1 hour to earn the Hitchhiking Vehicle Decal
- Watch 2 hours to earn the Marauder Vehicle Skin
- Watch 3 hours to earn the Highland Hunter Weapons Package
- Watch 4 hours to earn the No Mercy Soldier Skin
Each reward will automatically appear in your Twitch Drops inventory and must be claimed within 24 hours. Once claimed, items will be available in both Battlefield RedSec and Battlefield 6. EA has also encouraged content creators to apply for the official Battlefield Creator Program, designed to support streamers and community leaders as the game’s ecosystem expands.
Battlefield RedSec serves as both a standalone experience and a natural extension of Battlefield 6. The mode retains the franchise’s trademark large-scale warfare, while offering a free entry point into its evolving world. Set between 2027 and 2028, Battlefield 6 depicts a conflict between a fractured NATO alliance and the private military company Pax Armata. RedSec functions within this universe, sharing progression and seasonal content with the main game.
With cross-platform access, Twitch rewards, and a massive new map to explore, Battlefield 6 RedSec represents one of the most significant expansions to the franchise in years. Whether you are a long-time player or a newcomer eager to join the action, RedSec aims to deliver a fast-paced, high-stakes experience when it goes live on October 28, 2025.
