Battlefield 6 may reinvigorate the long-running first-person shooter franchise, but you'll have to be able to play it before you can know if you like it. If you've booted the game up to see an error message telling you to turn on Secure Boot, then chances are you haven't had an opportunity to dive into any warfare quite yet.

I'm seeing a lot of PC players concerned over Battlefield 6's Secure Boot requirement, so I put together this step-by-step guide on how to get everything set up properly.

Battlefield 6’s PC beta now requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 to support EA’s kernel‑level Javelin anti‑cheat. Most modern systems comply, but Linux and Steam Deck setups may fail.
