Does Modern Warfare 4 Require Secure Boot?
Yes. The source article states that TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are required on PC. Activision uses these features as part of the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat security layer.
How to Enable Secure Boot for Modern Warfare 4
Secure Boot is enabled in the BIOS or UEFI menu. The exact location varies between ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, ASRock, laptops, and prebuilt PCs. Windows also needs to use UEFI mode. Systems using Legacy or CSM mode may not show the Secure Boot option.
- Restart the computer.
- Enter the BIOS or UEFI setup.
- Open the Boot or Security section.
- Check that the system is using UEFI mode.
- Find Secure Boot.
- Set it to Enabled.
- Save the changes.
- After Windows starts, use
msinfo32to check the status again.
What If Secure Boot Is On but the Game Still Will Not Start?
If Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 both appear to be active, check the BIOS version, Windows configuration, and motherboard firmware settings. Manufacturer documentation and Activision’s security guidance can help when the security check still fails.
The published beta requirements target a midrange gaming PC and add mandatory security features on top of the hardware requirements. Final specifications may still change before release.
