""The fact is I wish we didn't have to do things like Secure Boot," Buhl said. "It does prevent some players from playing the game. Some people's PCs can't handle it and they can't play: that really sucks. I wish everyone could play the game with low friction and not have to do these sorts of things.""
""Unfortunately these are some of the strongest tools in our toolbox to stop cheating," Bruhl said. "Again, nothing makes cheating impossible, but enabling Secure Boot and having kernel-level access makes it so much harder to cheat and so much easier for us to find and stop cheating.""
Battlefield 6 requires Secure Boot on PC to support kernel-level anti-cheat, which strengthens cheat prevention and simplifies cheat detection. The Secure Boot requirement prevented some players from playing during the beta because some PCs cannot enable or handle it, reducing accessibility. The development team regrets the accessibility impact but prioritizes a fair play experience. EA describes Secure Boot as an additional barrier rather than a complete solution against cheaters. The beta indicated that the anti-cheat performed well overall. Post-beta adjustments will include gameplay tweaks such as a shotgun nerf and new Battlefield Labs playtests.
