Battlefield 6 has introduced a free-to-play battle royale mode called Redsec, launched alongside its first season. This is EA's second attempt at a battle royale after Battlefield 5’s Firestorm. Initial player engagement saw a spike, with 550,000 concurrent players on Steam, but this is a far cry from the launch peak of 747,440. Redsec's appeal may be hindered as it struggles to match the player engagement levels of competitors like Warzone. While it has improved the game's visibility on Steam, the actual player numbers suggest it failed to attract the desired audience.

nIs Battlefield 6’s Redsec mode worth trying?

Yes, if you enjoy battle royale games and want to explore a new free-to-play option within the Battlefield franchise, Redsec could offer a fresh experience. However, be aware that its initial engagement numbers are lower than expected compared to other major titles in the genre.

The Battlefield series is known for its large-scale multiplayer battles and realistic warfare scenarios. Battlefield 6, although released to a mixed reception, aimed to revitalize the franchise with new gameplay innovations and modes, including Redsec. The release of Redsec marks a strategic move by EA to expand the series’ player base by offering a no-cost entry point, unlike previous iterations that were locked behind a full purchase.
