Battlefield Redsec has officially arrived, hitting the scene with Season 1 of Battlefield 6. This exciting new battle royale is completely free to play, but it also integrates seamlessly into the full Battlefield 6 experience. If you’re finding the launch a bit confusing, don’t worry! This guide will clarify how to get into the action, whether you’re a proud owner of Battlefield 6 or a newcomer looking to jump straight into Redsec.
How to play if you own Battlefield 6
For those who already own Battlefield 6, getting into Battlefield Redsec couldn’t be simpler. Just ensure your game is fully updated to the latest patch, launch it, and select the ‘Redsec’ option directly from the main menu. You’ll find it listed alongside familiar choices like ‘Campaign’ and ‘Multiplayer.’ Be aware that the patch is quite sizable (over 21GB on Xbox Series X|S, for example), so allow some time for installation. Once that’s done, you’re all set to enjoy the game!
How to play if you don’t own Battlefield 6
No Battlefield 6? No problem! You can still dive into the intense action of Redsec. You’ll simply need to download the standalone client for your platform. Separate versions are available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. Head to your preferred digital storefront and grab the Redsec client to begin your battle royale journey.
- For PC players, look on popular digital distribution platforms.
- PlayStation users can find it in their console’s store.
- Xbox gamers can download it directly from the Xbox storefront.
And there you have it! A quick tip for new players: if you’re starting Redsec with a brand-new Battlefield 6 profile, you might notice a slight initial disadvantage. This is because attachments and customization unlocked in the main Battlefield 6 game carry over to Redsec. However, the impact of different scopes and grips is minor enough that you’ll quickly catch up and be competing effectively.
