Battlefield RedSec Release Date & Time: Official Launch Info

Battlefield Redsec Release Date and Time

Battlefield RedSec releases October 28, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. PT / 11:00 a.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. GMT, confirmed by EA's official social media and gameplay trailer schedule. RedSec is EA's new free-to-play battle royale mode for Battlefield 6, dropping with Season 1 and promised via an official trailer timestamped for launch. Battlefield, posting on X via @Battlefield, teased, "Eyes up. Plates on," announcing that #REDSEC arrives tomorrow at 8:00 PT / 15:00 UTC.

This was announced just one day in advance, a sudden reveal after months of leaks, with preloading starting for some players. No official store page exists, but BF6 PS5 owners noted pre-load for the Season 1 update. RedSec differentiates itself with a deadly shrinking zone and squad-based mayhem on a California map, as teased by datamined files last week and confirmed in the EA announcement. EA's silence until launch? Frustrating, but back to RedSec, here's what you need.
