Battlefield 2042 Implements Secure Boot Requirement for PC Gamers
May 27, 2025 - 17:43
In a significant shift for PC gaming, Battlefield 2042 has announced that it will now require Secure Boot to be enabled for players on the platform. This move aligns the game with recent trends in the gaming industry, particularly following similar steps taken by other popular titles like Valorant.
Secure Boot is a security feature designed to ensure that only trusted software can run during the startup process of a computer. The vast majority of computers manufactured in the last 20 to 25 years support this technology, meaning that most gamers should be able to comply with the new requirement without major issues.
Developers are increasingly prioritizing security measures to combat cheating and unauthorized modifications, which have plagued the gaming community for years. By implementing Secure Boot, Battlefield 2042 aims to create a fairer and more secure gaming environment for its players. This decision may set a precedent for future games, as the industry continues to evolve in response to security challenges.
