Heads up soldiers, Battlefield 6 joins REDSEC in being free next week — here's when you can play, and how the free trial works

Battlefield 6.

One of 2025's biggest games is Battlefield 6, Electronic Arts' latest entry in its legendary combined arms-driven, large-scale FPS franchise. Though it only launched last month, it's rapidly become one of the year's most popular multiplayer titles, releasing with 750K concurrent players on Steam alone and selling over 7 million copies in just three days. It's remained a top performer since then in terms of both player count and sales, too.

Indeed, even with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and ARC Raiders fiercely competing with it for player attention, Battlefield is doing incredibly well right now. And while playing it normally requires a full $69.99 purchase, you'll soon be able to jump into the shooter without spending a cent — at least for a little while, anyway.
