Battlefield RedSec is Battlefield Studios’ newest battle royale game, created to go head-to-head with popular titles like Call of Duty: Warzone.
As a researcher studying this game, what immediately stands out is that it delivers everything Battlefield fans expect. We’re talking huge-scale destruction, the ability to drive vehicles, and just general chaos as 100 players battle it out on a massive map. You can play with one friend as a duo, or team up with a full squad of four, and it really *feels* like a classic Battlefield experience.
Battlefield hasn’t always had smooth releases, but the newest game is proving to be a hit, selling over 7 million copies in just three days. The developers are continuing to add content, and today, October 28, 2025, they’re launching a new battle royale mode called Redsec – their biggest attempt yet to compete with Call of Duty.

Even though Battlefield 6 looks amazing – and the Redsec technology behind it is impressive – the game doesn’t require a super powerful PC to run. You can actually play it on hardware that’s over six years old, like an NVIDIA RTX 2060, although you might be limited to 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second. It’s still remarkable that the developers have optimized Battlefield to work well on so many different computer configurations.
It makes you think the Xbox Series S actually deserves some recognition. Developers have said it’s challenged them to make games run better, encouraging them to use resources more efficiently, especially for less powerful systems.
As an analyst, I’m seeing some pushback from PC gamers regarding the mandatory UEFI Secure Boot and HVCI requirements for the new Battlefield. It seems these are linked to Redsec, the game’s anti-cheat system which operates at the kernel level, and that’s causing concerns about both security implications and whether everyone’s systems will be compatible.
If you’re unsure how to turn on Secure Boot, we’ve created a quick guide that should only take a few minutes to follow.
Just like in Battlefield 6, this game will offer extensive customization options. Players will be able to tweak over 600 different settings, including features like HDR, to personalize their experience.
Just like Battlefield 6, players can expect the following:
- A full suite of graphical and performance settings
- HDR support
- Extensive HUD customization, including scaling, icons, and crosshair tweaks
- Detailed camera controls
- Controller layouts, input options, and haptic feedback settings
- Streamer and Incognito modes
- And plenty more
