For every Battlefield fan out there, the wait is finally over. Battlefield Redsec is now available, launching alongside the first season of Battlefield 6, and it brings a fresh battlefield experience with a completely free-to-play system. You can jump into Redsec as part of the Battlefield 6 experience, or you can play it as a standalone game — and that’s where some players get confused, especially newcomers to the series.
Don’t worry. This guide breaks down the easiest way to start playing Battlefield Redsec, whether you own Battlefield 6 or not.
How to Play Battlefield Redsec If You Already Own Battlefield 6
If you own Battlefield 6, you’re only a few steps away from entering the new Redsec arena:
- Make sure your game is fully updated to the latest version.
- Launch Battlefield 6 on your device.
- From the main menu, select Redsec — located next to Campaign and Multiplayer.
- Start the mode and jump straight into action.
Note: The update is fairly large — around 21GB on Xbox Series X|S — so give your console enough time to download it.
How to Play Battlefield Redsec If You Don’t Own Battlefield 6
No Battlefield 6? No problem.
You can still enjoy Redsec completely free by downloading the standalone version from:
- Steam
- Epic Games Store
- Xbox
- PlayStation
Just download the standalone version, install it, and you’re ready to enter the battlefield.
A Helpful Note for New Players
Some players may face small limitations when starting Redsec
Players starting on a brand-new account — especially those who haven’t played Battlefield 6 before — may notice a few missing attachments or customization options early on. This is normal. Many modern shooters use account-based syncing systems, similar to how the epic games login framework handles player data and progression across platforms. The good news is that Redsec is extremely beginner-friendly, and you’ll quickly unlock weapons, attachments, and soldier upgrades as you play.
