Secure Boot Becomes Required on PC for Anticheat
Battlefield 6 requires Secure Boot on PC as part of enhanced anticheat . The feature protects against kernel-level cheats and rootkits, memory manipulation, hardware spoofing, virtual machines, and anti-cheat tampering. Secure Boot leverages TPM and related security features. Applies to Windows 10 and Windows 11. Without it, players see a launch-time prompt explaining the requirement.
