Overview

  • Activision confirms TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are mandatory to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on PC, including this week’s beta.
  • The company says these firmware checks verify system integrity from startup and operate alongside Ricochet Anti-Cheat to deter kernel‑level cheats.
  • Many Windows 11 PCs already comply, while Windows 10 or legacy BIOS/CSM installations may be blocked without UEFI/GPT configuration changes.
  • Players can verify status with tpm.msc and msinfo32, enable AMD fTPM or Intel PTT in BIOS, and switch on Secure Boot within UEFI settings.
  • If requirements still fail, updating the motherboard BIOS has resolved issues for some users, and the Steam beta client now displays TPM and Secure Boot status; PCGamesN also reports Battlefield 6 enforces TPM 2.0, Secure Boot, HVCI, and VBS.
