Battlefield 6 RedSec: What do we know

Electronic Arts has not revealed much about Battlefield RedSec. However, what’s confirmed is that it will be free-to-play and won’t require owning the main Battlefield game. Given the genre, players can expect familiar mechanics — dropping into a large map, scavenging for gear, and fighting until only one survivor remains. Electronic Arts has not revealed any additional information on how RedSec will be integrated with the game, or if it will be at all.

 

It is likely that the system requirements that were applicable for Battlefield 6 will also be applicable for Battlefield RedSec.
