Activision & Microsoft Require TPM 2.0 & Secure Boot for Call of Duty
Activision and Microsoft have announced a significant change for PC gamers. Starting soon, players of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone will need to enable Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and Secure Boot to play the games. TPM 2.0 is a security chip that provides hardware-level security for computers. It helps prevent kernel level cheats and enables anti-cheat systems to verify system integrity. However, this requirement has sparked controversy among gamers, raising privacy concerns. To enable TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot, users need to access their system BIOS/UEFI and follow specific steps. While Windows 11 PCs are required to have TPM 2.0 enabled, an out-of-date BIOS could cause issues. This change may bar older machines from playing the games. Activision and Microsoft's decision to require TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Warzone aims to enhance game security and combat cheating. However, it has raised concerns and may impact players with older hardware. Users are advised to check their system requirements and enable the necessary features to continue playing.
