The biggest game of 2025 is currently free to play. Electronic Arts officially kicked off the Battlefield 6 Season 1 trial yesterday, November 25. This limited-time event allows players on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC to experience the best-selling first-person shooter of the year without spending a dime.
If you haven’t jumped into the action yet, now is the perfect time. The trial remains live until December 2 at 4:00 AM PT / 5:00 PM Pakistan Standard Time.
How to Access the Battlefield 6 Free Trial
Accessing the trial is slightly different than usual. You cannot simply download a “Free Trial” version of the main game. Instead, you must download the free-to-play battle royale title, Battlefield RedSec.
Once you enter RedSec, you will find a dedicated menu for the Battlefield 6 trial. This temporary expansion bridges the two games. Furthermore, PlayStation users reportedly do not need a PlayStation Plus subscription to participate, as the trial runs through the free-to-play client.
What’s Included: Maps & Modes
EA has unlocked a generous portion of the multiplayer experience. The trial features three specific playlists designed for different playstyles:
- Initiation Breakthrough: Perfect for beginners, this mode mixes real players with bots in 48-player matches to help you learn the ropes.
- Close Quarters Battle: This playlist focuses on fast-paced infantry combat. It includes Team Deathmatch and Sabotage, a limited-time round-based mode where teams destroy or defend cargo.
- All-Out Warfare: This delivers the classic sandbox experience. Players can fight on massive maps in Conquest, Breakthrough, and the tactical Escalation mode.
Additionally, you can play on three specific maps:
- Siege of Cairo (Available since launch).
- Eastwood (New Season 1 map).
- Blackwell Fields (New Season 1 map).
Keep Your Rewards & Progression
You won’t waste your time grinding during this week. All progress, including Rank, weapon unlocks, and XP, carries over to the full game if you decide to buy it. Moreover, your existing progress from Battlefield RedSec syncs perfectly with the trial.
There are also free items up for grabs. If you log in before November 30, you will receive the Lethal Force Weapon Package. This grants you a skin for the M2010 ESR Sniper Rifle, usable in both Battlefield 6 and RedSec.
PlayStation Plus subscribers can also claim the Rogue Ops pack. This bundle includes 11 cosmetic items and is currently free (regularly $19.99).
Battlefield 6 released on October 10 and is currently outperforming its rival, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, in the US market. With the trial ending on December 2, don’t miss this chance to see why it holds the commercial crown of 2025.
