Initiation Breakthrough welcomes newcomers with a 48-player match experience against real people and bots. Close Quarters Battle offers quicker matches with Team Deathmatch and Sabotage modes, while All-Out Warfare features Conquest, Escalation, and Breakthrough modes in large-scale maps.
These playlists and their respective modes can all be played across three maps, including Siege of Cairo and the most recently released maps, Eastwood and Blackwell Fields.
To access the Free Trial, players need to download the free-to-play Battlefield: REDSEC experience on their preferred gaming platform.
For those who have already played REDSEC, Battlefield 6's free-to-play, battle royale mode, all progress, including Career Rank, Hardware Unlocks and Levels, Customization items, and more, carries over to this Free Trial, which will also carry over to the full version of the game when purchased.

Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 continues to struggle against EA's best-selling first-person shooter of 2025, which has yet to break the 100,000 player count on Steam.
The latest CoD game is also available on Game Pass, so we can't know for sure how well the game is performing overall on PC.
