Battlefield RedSec is Battlefield Studios’ latest attempt at a battle royale, designed to compete with the likes of Call of Duty: Warzone.
It comes with everything fans love about the series: Large-scale destruction, drivable vehicles, and all-out chaos across a massive map packed with 100 players. You can squad up with a single buddy or form a full party of four with your friends for an experience that feels unmistakably Battlefield.

Despite how visually stunning Battlefield 6 — and by extension, Redsec — are, the game’s PC requirements are surprisingly reasonable. You can run it on hardware over six years old, such as an NVIDIA RTX 2060, though you’ll likely be limited to 1080p at 30fps. Even so, it’s impressive how well the team has managed to scale Battlefield across such a wide range of setups.
I can’t help but wonder if the Xbox Series S deserves a bit of credit for that. Developers have praised the console for pushing them to optimize performance, forcing smarter use of resources to ensure the game runs smoothly on lower-end hardware.
However, there are some concerns among PC players about the need for UEFI Secure Boot and HVCI. These requirements are tied to Battlefield Redsec’s kernel-level anti-cheat system, which has sparked debate around security and compatibility.
For those who do not know how to enable secure boot either, we have a handy guide on that shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes.
Similar to Battlefield 6, players can expect the same level of customization. Players should have access to over 600 different settings to work with, covering things like HDR and more.
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
