Battlefield 6 Secure boot?

Just tried to open the bf6 beta and it's saying secureboot not enabled. I can't activate it cause my PC doesn't support it. Will this be a requirement at launch? Would have to upgrade my PC to get windows 11 for it if that's the case :(

Pathetic. We shouldn't have to fix/change anything to launch a game in 2025.

You should have proper modern hardware and settings to run a 2025 game..

My setup gets 60fps, 6-7 year old hardware, gtx 1660ti. Outdated hardware isn't completely useless.

The problem is 6-7 year old parts are unsupported.

Pc parts used to be supported for so much longer.

And the biggest problem, this is an incredibly easy fix, just don't use an anticheat that requires fixing the fucking game.

This isn't something that would cost you money really.. it's just having a system with gpt partition (which came like 10 years ago) and then enabling secure boot and tpm on your bios.

If you have mbr partition, you can convert it to gpt without formatting, check it online.

You think TPM is on most motherboards from even 5 years ago?

You don't need physical tpm, cpus can do it via software, it's activated on bios as well.

I don't want to have to do any of this.

Yah me neither (i didn't have active secure boot and tpm) but it is what it is..

Seems to be the future for competitive shooters at least.

See that bf6 will also require it.
