As the studio prepares to wind down for the upcoming holiday, Battlefield 6's developer team shared some insight on what players can expect from the shooter's multiplayer and Redsec battle royale in 2026.
The developer's latest social media post detailed that the studio will work to "refine core gameplay, balance, and quality-of-life improvements across multiplayer, Redsec, and Portal."
As to be expected with seasonal content, new maps and weapons are planned for Battlefield 6. The studio says this content is being developed to "introduce fresh tactical opportunities and keep the experience evolving in meaningful ways."
This only gives players a vague sense of what to expect, but for Season 1, Battlefield 6 gained three multiplayer maps, more vehicles, several new weapons, and some additional attachments. The content was rolled out in three separate phases, and it's likely future seasons could follow the same approach.
The developer also touched on the game's free-to-play Redsec battle royale mode. The game currently doesn't feature a solo playlist, which has been highly-requested from the community, and the studio is aware of the interest and working to deliver an option for solo players.
"We are working through the technical details to deliver it at a quality level that feels right for Battlefield," the developer said. "Once we are confident in the plan and timing, we will share more."
The developer's post also included several statistics for Battlefield 6 in 2025. Players across multiplayer and Redsec played over 1.7 billion matches and logged 383.5 million gameplay hours. This overall gametime resulted in 12.4 billion kills and 871 million revives. Engineer was the most used class at 28%, but it was a close race with support players making up 27%, assault players at 26%, and the recon class was the least used at 19%.
Most recently, Battlefield 6 released Winter Offensive as the last update for Season 1. Winter Offensive had a rough launch, which led to Battlefield Studios releasing a series of hotfixes and updates across all platforms.
Battlefield 6 is 2025's No. 1 best-selling game in the US so far, toppling Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which currently sits at No. 7 on the list.
