Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is 'building toward the most advanced and robust anti-cheat', requiring players to enable Secure Boot for the beta

Black Ops 7 weapon prestige attachments and weekly challenges: A group of soldiers sneaking through a dark corridor with weapons at the ready.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's beta is just days away, scheduled to kick off on October 2 for early access players (October 5 for everyone else) ahead of the game's official release on November 14. But before you get to jump in and check it out, Activision wants to make sure that you've got all your ducks in a row, and by ducks, I mean Secure Boot.

"On PC, the Black Ops 7 Beta will require TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot," an official blog post reads. "We’re building toward the most advanced and robust anti-cheat protections players will find in gaming, starting with the Beta on October 2 for Early Access and October 5 for all players."
