Battlefield™ 6 News

Steam's latest client beta has given you another way to quickly check whether you've got secure boot enabled before you hop into some FPSsing about. Enabling the setting's become mandatory for the likes of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6, as the possibly futile war on cheating continues to rage like, er, well, you know.

It's a controversial way of going about trying to limit the amout of fraudulent 360 no-scopes, as it involves publishers mandating an aspect of how players' hardware's used, if a pretty easy one to check with a trip to your BIOS if you know what you're doing.
