Battlefield RedSec Launches Free Today: Full PC Requirements Revealed

Battlefield RedSec, the franchise’s bold new battle royale mode, officially launches today, October 28, 2025, as a free-to-play experience across PC and consoles.

Battlefield RedSec Launches October 28—Everything You Should Know

Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios are taking another swing at the battle royale genre with Battlefield RedSec, a standalone mode designed to rival Call of Duty: Warzone. Unlike previous experiments, this one feels like a full commitment. RedSec brings everything you’d expect from Battlefield — large-scale destruction, drivable vehicles, and chaotic firefights across a massive map with 100 players. You can drop in with a single partner or roll with a full squad of four, making it a flexible experience for different playstyles.

RedSec PC Requirements: Surprisingly Reasonable

One of the most refreshing details about RedSec is its PC system requirements. Despite its next-gen visuals, the game scales well across older hardware. If you’re running something like an NVIDIA RTX 2060 or AMD RX 5600 XT, you can still play at 1080p and 30 FPS. Of course, if you’ve got a beefier setup, say an RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX, you’ll be able to push 4K at 60 FPS on Ultra settings.
