A couple of days ago, we informed you about the Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 requirement for Battlefield 6. And today, Activision has revealed the exact same requirements for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. So, unless you enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 in your BIOS, you won’t be able to play the new COD game.
It’s also worth noting that Season 5 for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone will also have these two requirements. Right now, you can play these two games without Secure Boot and TPM 2.0. Once Season 5 goes live, though, you won’t be able to. To keep playing, you’ll have to enable them.
Since I saw a lot of confused people in my previous article, let’s go into more details about Secure Boot and TPM 2.0.
Secure Boot is a safety feature found in most modern computers. When it’s turned on, it makes sure that only trusted programs (like Windows and important drivers) can run when your computer starts up. Its main job is to stop dangerous software, like rootkits or viruses, from loading before your system is ready. It checks that everything is safe and approved before letting it run. So no, Secure Boot isn’t some kind of spyware from EA or Activision. It’s actually a helpful feature that protects your PC.
TPM 2.0 is a small security chip that comes with most modern computers. It helps keep your system safe by working with your operating system to protect important data. In fact, TPM 2.0 is required to run Windows 11. So, if you’re already using Windows 11, this feature is probably turned on already.
In my previous article, I explained how you can enable them. I also highlighted an issue that some may face even when enabling them in your BIOS. So, make sure to read that article as it can help you fix any issues you may encounter.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Treyarch and Raven Software want to give players the craziest Black Ops story yet. The year is 2035. The world is falling apart after huge wars and mind games that started in Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. Now, with high-tech weapons and gear, the Black Ops team, led by David Mason, must stop a powerful enemy who uses fear as their main weapon.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will feature a co-op campaign. Players will be able to squad up with friends or play solo in its thrilling campaign mode. They’ll also harness near-future weaponry in a signature Multiplayer experience packed with brand-new maps, and descend into the next twisted chapter of Round-Based Zombies in the heart of the Dark Aether.
Activision will release Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 later this year. Right now, there is no exact ETA on when it will come out. We also don’t have its PC requirements. As soon as we get them, we’ll be sure to share them with you.
Stay tuned for more!
