What’s new in REDSEC and multiplayer
The Battlefield REDSEC battle royale gets a new mode, Rapid Royale. It’s played in Trios or Solos, with fewer players, a redeploy for every kill and a faster-closing ring of fire. Rapid Royale runs on Vegas Strip and Mirak Valley. A new Ranked BR season has also started, along with the Open Series, with the Elite Series following later in the season.
Battlefield 6 multiplayer now has Leaderboards. The Gauntlet mode, on the other hand, was removed from Battlefield 6 when Season 5 launched on 13 October 2026.

Season 5 Battle Pass
The Season 5 Battle Pass has 6 instant rewards, 4 themed paths and more than 100 tiers. Some rewards are free for everyone, including the CDX-40 rifle, the MRGG-A and the PKM machine gun. The Battle Pass covers both Battlefield 6 and REDSEC, so you progress in both.
| Option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 | some rewards, including the CDX-40, MRGG-A and PKM |
| Battle Pass | 1,100 BFC (on Steam, 1,100 BFC costs €9.99) | the full season Battle Pass |
| Battlefield Pro | €24.99 on Steam | Battle Pass, 25 tier skips, +5% XP, bonus path, radio station, hosting up to 100 players in Portal |
Battlefield Pro can only be bought with real money, not with BFC (Battlefield Coins). If you already own the Battle Pass and upgrade to Pro, you get your 1,100 BFC back. A one-season Battlefield Pro token is also included in the Game of the Year Edition; all edition prices are in our editions and price guide.
