Thank you to the Battlefield community for your feedback and support since the launch of Battlefield 6 and our all-new free-to-play destination built on Battlefield’s iconic DNA, REDSEC. Last year, our franchise received an unprecedented amount of support: millions of players returned to Battlefield or joined us for the first time during the most successful launch in Battlefield history.
That launch included a commitment to providing monthly content-rich updates for our players. After delivering a packed Season 1 in 2025, including the surprise launch of REDSEC, a battle on the homefront with California Resistance, the year-ending festive Winter Offensive event, as well as deploying several patches, we head into the new year excited about what's next.
During our ongoing development, we've continued to review community feedback and, in order to keep our promise, determined that our best path forward is to extend Season 1 and give ourselves extra time to further polish and refine Season 2
Season 1 will be extended past its in-game end date of January 20, and we will launch Season 2 on February 17. The Season 1 extension update to Battlefield 6 and REDSEC will be released on January 20, which will include new weekly challenges, a Bonus Path, and a continuation of the Season 1 Battle Pass until the start date of Season 2.
We are also reinforcing Battlefield Labs as the public preview for future game updates in the late stages of development. Both the Season 1 extension and the use of Battlefield Labs will set the foundation for new and exciting content throughout our live seasons, including what will come in Season 2.
We look forward to sharing more details about Season 2 in February and a greater 2026 roadmap for Battlefield 6 and REDSEC in the near future.
Season 1 January Update Details
Prior to the January 20th Season 1 extension update, expect Update Notes about the exact fixes and stability improvements from our Community team; this Update Notes post, as well as previous Update Note posts, can be found in the “Game Updates” section of our website here.
The Season 1 extension will also have an additional Bonus Path, a showcase of Portal Community Experiences, several Double XP periods, and free daily login rewards:
Frostfire Bonus Path - Available January 27th
Available on January 27, unlock new customization rewards, including a Weapon Package and a Soldier Skin, as well as XP Boosts, by advancing through the tiers of the Frostfire Bonus Path. Additional rewards require purchase of the Season 1 Battle Pass.
Free rewards from the Frostfire Bonus Path will include a Hardware XP Boost, a Vehicle Skin and playercard customization items, while Battle Pass owners can grab a new Weapon Package, a Career XP Boost and additional customization items.
The Frostfire Bonus Path can be completed concurrently alongside the Season 1 Battle Pass. In other words, you do not need to choose to make progress between a Season 1 Battle Pass Path - i.e. Rogue Ops, Soldiers Of Fortune - and the Frostfire Bonus Path. Each Bonus Path Tier requires 10 Bonus Path Points to unlock, which means you need to earn 110 Bonus Path points to complete the Bonus Path.
Unlike previous Bonus Paths, all Bonus Path Points for the Frostfire Bonus Path are earned through Weekly Challenges; there are no Bonus Challenges associated with this Bonus Path.
For each Weekly Challenge, the amount of Points earned varies by challenge; for example, an easier Weekly Challenge can award a range of Bonus Path Points depending on difficulty. Not all Weekly Challenges reward Bonus Path points; consult your in-game Challenges menu for more information and see how it works, for example, with Winter Offensive.
Valentine’s Day, Daily Login Rewards, Double XP Weekends and More
Later this update, we’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day: commit to your duo now, or forever hold your peace. We’re also introducing another set of Daily Login Rewards and several Double XP Weekends throughout the update period.
All these moments will be communicated in-game and through our social media channels; stay connected with us on the following platforms by clicking each link to our official accounts:
Moving forward together, we look forward to continuing our conversations with you, the Battlefield community, both in-game and across our official channels. Again, thank you for being a part of our community and joining us for the future of this franchise, starting with our next update on January 20, 2026.
We’ll see you on the Battlefield.
