What Games Require Secure Boot

The clearest example in the supplied results is Battlefield 6. It is described as requiring both Secure Boot and TPM 2.0, with one result stating that the game will not launch without them.

The rest of the list needs more care. Some titles are tied to a specific season, tournament, or competitive server. That is very different from saying the entire game requires Secure Boot.

Games explicitly listed as requiring Secure Boot

Here’s the useful distinction:

That last column matters. A requirement for a tournament or a third-party server doesn't automatically apply to every way of playing the game.

The supplied results give Battlefield 6 the strongest full-game claim. For several other titles, they show an association with Secure Boot but don't spell out whether the requirement affects normal play, one platform, a particular update, or a competitive service.

Battlefield 6: Secure Boot and TPM 2.0

Battlefield 6 is the title with the most direct requirement in the supplied material.

The reported requirement is:

• Secure Boot enabled
• TPM 2.0 enabled

One result says Battlefield 6 won't launch without both settings. That makes it different from a tournament rule or a server-side check. The claim applies to launching the game itself.

What does that mean for players?

If Battlefield 6 refuses to start and shows a message about Secure Boot or TPM 2.0, check those settings before spending time reinstalling the game. The issue may be with the PC's firmware settings rather than the game files.

Still, don't assume every warning means the same thing. A PC can have compatible hardware while one or both features are turned off. The game's current notice or support instructions should be your last check before changing anything.

The supplied results don't give a detailed explanation for why Battlefield 6 uses these requirements. So it's better to stick to what is confirmed: both settings are listed, and the game has been described as unable to launch without them.

Games with mode- or server-specific requirements

Secure Boot can be part of a narrower access rule. In that case, you may be able to install or play the main game normally but fail a check for a particular season, tournament, or server.

That is why a list of games requiring Secure Boot can be misleading if it doesn't show the requirement's scope.

Valorant, The Finals, EA Sports FC, and League of Legends

The supplied game list includes:

• Valorant
• The Finals
• EA Sports FC
• League of Legends

However, the available results don't clearly state whether Secure Boot is required for each game's full PC release, a certain update, or a specific competitive feature.

So the careful answer is:

• Does The Finals require Secure Boot? It appears in the supplied Secure Boot-related list, but the results don't confirm that every player needs it for the full game.
• Does League of Legends need Secure Boot? It is listed, but the supplied information doesn't define whether that applies to all gameplay or a particular competitive setup.
• Does Valorant require Secure Boot? It appears in the list, but these results don't provide enough detail to label it a universal full-game requirement.
• Does EA Sports FC require Secure Boot? It is also listed, though the exact scope isn't confirmed here.

Treat these as titles to check, not as proof that you must change your BIOS settings immediately. A launcher message, official support page, or requirement shown for the exact mode you're trying to enter is more useful than a general list.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 5

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 5 is included in the supplied results. The season name is the key detail.

This should be treated as a season-specific reference, not a permanent statement about every version of Black Ops 6. Requirements can be tied to a particular update or anti-cheat rollout. They may also change when a new season arrives.

If the game worked before and started showing a Secure Boot notice after an update, check the current season's support information. Don't assume an old list still describes the live version.

Fortnite tournaments and Counter-Strike 2 FaceIt servers

Two entries have especially clear limits.

Fortnite tournaments

Fortnite is listed as requiring Secure Boot for certain tournaments.

That does not mean Secure Boot is automatically required for every Fortnite player or every standard match. The rule may apply when entering a named tournament or competitive event.

If you can play ordinary Fortnite but can't join a tournament, look at the event's own eligibility and hardware checks. The tournament rule is the relevant one in that situation.

Counter-Strike 2 FaceIt servers

Counter-Strike 2 is connected to Secure Boot requirements on FaceIt servers.

FaceIt is a competitive service, so this is a competitive-server requirement, not a clear claim that all Counter-Strike 2 players need Secure Boot to launch or play the regular game.

That difference can explain why one player sees a Secure Boot message while another playing the same title does not. They may be using different services with different checks.

Does Secure Boot also require TPM 2.0?

No. Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are separate settings. A requirement can mention one, the other, or both.

For Battlefield 6, the supplied results specifically mention both Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. That is the clearest combined requirement in the material provided.

For the other games and services on the list, don't automatically add TPM 2.0 just because Secure Boot appears in a forum post or game list. The supplied results don't confirm TPM 2.0 for Valorant, The Finals, EA Sports FC, League of Legends, Fortnite tournaments, Counter-Strike 2 FaceIt servers, or Black Ops 6 Season 5.

This is also why it helps to copy down the exact wording of the error. “Secure Boot required” and “Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 required” point to different checks.

How to check a game's current requirement before changing BIOS settings

Before changing firmware settings, work out exactly where the requirement applies.

1. Identify the activity that fails

Ask yourself what you're trying to do:

• Launch the full game
• Enter a new season
• Join a tournament
• Connect to a competitive server
• Start a third-party anti-cheat client

The answer changes how you should read the requirement.

2. Check the current notice

Look at the message in the launcher, game client, or competitive service. Write down whether it names:

• Secure Boot
• TPM 2.0
• Both settings
• A season or update
• A tournament
• A specific server or platform

A general web list may combine all of these into one heading, which hides the important detail.

3. Check the current official support information

Search for the requirement using the exact game and activity. For example, a question about Black Ops 6 Season 5 should be checked against information for that season, not a general Call of Duty page. A question about Counter-Strike 2 should identify whether you mean the normal game or FaceIt.

4. Don't treat one successful launch as proof

A game launching today doesn't prove that a tournament or competitive server will accept the PC. Those services can apply an extra check.

The reverse is true as well. A failed competitive check doesn't prove the full game needs the same setting.

5. Change firmware settings only when the requirement is clear

Secure Boot is controlled through PC firmware settings, so changing it isn't the same as flipping a normal in-game option. Follow the instructions for your specific motherboard or PC maker, and make sure you understand the current setup before changing anything.

If the requirement is unclear, pause first. Guessing can create a new boot problem without fixing the original game error.

Answers for ARC Raiders, Apex, and Rainbow Six Siege

The supplied results don't confirm a Secure Boot requirement for these games in the same clear way as Battlefield 6.

Does ARC Raiders require Secure Boot?

The available results do not confirm that ARC Raiders requires Secure Boot. They also don't establish whether a future mode, test, season, or competitive service could add such a check.

For now, treat this as not confirmed by these results. Check the current game or launcher notice for the version you're trying to run.

Does Apex require Secure Boot?

The supplied material does not confirm that Apex requires Secure Boot for the full game. It would be risky to turn a related search result into a blanket rule for every Apex player.

If Apex shows a specific Secure Boot message, use that wording when checking the current official support information. If there is no such message, a generic list isn't enough evidence on its own.

Does Rainbow Six Siege require Secure Boot?

The supplied results also do not confirm a general Secure Boot requirement for Rainbow Six Siege. That doesn't prove the setting can never be used for a future update or a particular competitive service. It only means the provided information doesn't establish the claim.

The same caution applies to GTA 5. The supplied research does not confirm that GTA 5 requires Secure Boot, so it shouldn't be labeled as required or not required without checking the current version and service.

The safest rule is simple: match the requirement to the exact thing you're trying to access. Check the game's current official support page or the notice in its launcher before enabling Secure Boot or changing BIOS settings.
