You might have heard some rumors going around recently, claiming Epic would bring the stringent security requirements of other online games to Fortnite. That may yet happen, but it hasn't yet. However, if you're in the extremely tiny elite group of Fortnite players who do join in the official tournaments, you'd better make sure your PC is up to spec with its security hardening, as Epic has just made those measures a requirement to participate.
This isn't actually completely novel; Epic announced almost exactly a year ago that those wanting to join in the FNCS events requiring an account level of 350 or higher would need to have TPM and Secure Boot enabled on their PCs. These features are officially required to run Windows 11, although those requirements are trivial to bypass. However, the news here is that Epic is now requiring these security measures, as well as virtualization-based security, for all Fortnite tournaments.
