The long-awaited Battlefield 6 battle royale mode is finally here. Called RedSec, the mode promises to revolutionize the battle royale genre with its unique Battlefield twist, including tactical destruction and much more. Unfortunately, being a free-to-play game, some RedSec server issues are to be expected. If you are experiencing long RedSec queue times, connection issues, or login errors, read on to find the latest updates.
RedSec Server Status - Are Servers Down?
At the time of writing, RedSec is still not live. The game is set to launch at 4 PM CET / 11 AM ET / 8 AM PT. Once it goes live, we’ll monitor the situation closely and update this guide as needed. We’re expecting a massive influx of players eager to try the game, both because of Battlefield’s critical success and the fact that RedSec is entirely free.
RedSec Long Queue Times
When the game launches, the expected surge of interest in the mode will likely cause some RedSec queue times, as servers become overwhelmed with players trying to jump into the battle royale. Hopefully, the queues won’t last long, and the issues will be resolved within a few hours of launch. Once the game goes live, we’ll update this article with any relevant information.
RedSec Connection and Login Issues
When the game launches, be prepared for login issues, including the classic Disconnected from EA server error, as the servers will likely struggle to handle the massive influx of players rushing to try RedSec. If that happens, the best thing you can do is step away for an hour or two until the rush dies down, then try again.
Why Are RedSec Servers Down?
RedSec may go down for a limited time for various reasons. This could happen due to a sudden surge in players that the servers can’t handle at that moment. It might also be caused by scheduled maintenance, in which case you’ll be informed in advance. Alternatively, it could result from malicious activity such as DDoS or other hacker attacks.
Outages may also occur on a global scale. For example, if Amazon’s servers go down, the servers of all its clients will also go down. Whatever happens, we’ll monitor the situation closely and update this guide with the latest details on RedSec server issues.
