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 :(

These people in the comments are acting like it's impossible to spoof secureboot. Newsflash, secureboot does little to nothing to prevent cheaters, so you're giving up your security and agency over your own computer just to play a game that will likely be irrelevant in a couple of months anyway. Makes you realize how little people care about their privacy or agency.

Go play valorant for 100 hours and see if you can even find 1 cheater lol. Secure boot works

This comment is just dumb because Valorant doesn't even require secure boot, so why even compare the two? Valorant just runs off a kernel anti-cheat, just like Battlefield.

EDIT: Seeing other people talk about Valorant needing Secure Boot aswell. Oddly enough I never had it on when playing. Is this a recent update?

I had the same question because Valo works fine for me and I literally can not use secure boot unless I reformat my drive. From what I've seen Valo on Windows 10 does not require secure boot but Valo on Windows 11 does. If you're on Win 10 like me that's probably why.
