Overview

• Ricochet anti-cheat now performs optional TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot verifications at startup and flags non-compliant PCs during Season 5 of Black Ops 6.
• Activision will require both hardware security features to launch Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 later this year, ensuring each match begins on an untampered system.
• The TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot checks only run at boot and remain inactive during gameplay to avoid affecting performance or accessing personal data.
• Legal efforts have targeted 22 additional cheat developers with cease-and-desist letters, many of whom have already shut down their illicit services.
• Players are urged to enable two-factor authentication on their Activision accounts as the publisher signals it may become a future requirement.
