Battlefield 6 has nearly doubled the player count of Battlefield 2042's open beta, which peaked at 156,665 players, and surpassed its full launch count of 107,376. EA's strategy of releasing Battlefield titles on Steam simultaneously has contributed to this success. The game is expected to outperform other popular titles like Elden Ring Nightreign and Skyrim on Steam's charts. EA has made player-centric changes, such as providing access to classic class weapons and avoiding the EA App for Steam users, positioning Battlefield 6 as a strong alternative in a competitive market.

Battlefield 6 Open Beta Forces PC Gamers to Mess About With Their BIOS to Enable Secure Boot — and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Is Next

Battlefield 6 requires players to enable Secure Boot on PC to access the Open Beta. EA has published a user guide to assist players in enabling Secure Boot, which involves accessing the BIOS and ensuring that TPM 2.0 is activated and the Windows disk is formatted as GPT. This requirement may be challenging for less experienced PC gamers. Activision has also announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will mandate Secure Boot for PC players. The shift towards requiring TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot is aimed at enhancing game security and combating cheating in competitive multiplayer games.

Secure Boot is required to play Battlefield 6 on PC — here’s how to enable it on Windows 10 and Windows 11

Secure Boot is a feature in Windows 10 and Windows 11 that prevents unsafe applications from launching during startup, helping maintain a malware-free environment and serving as a prerequisite for anti-cheat systems like EA's Javelin. It is mandatory for upgrading to Windows 11 but not required for Windows 10. To check if Secure Boot is enabled, users can type "msinfo" in the Windows search bar and verify the Secure Boot State and BIOS Mode in the System Summary. If Secure Boot is off or unsupported, users may need to change their BIOS Mode to UEFI and enable Secure Boot. To enable Secure Boot, TPM 2.0 must be enabled, and the Windows boot drive must be GPT. If the drive is MBR, it can be converted to GPT using the command "mbr2gpt /validate /disk:0 /allowFullOS" followed by "mbr2gpt /convert /disk:0 /allowfullOS." After ensuring UEFI mode is set by disabling Compatibility Support Module (CSM) in the BIOS, users can enable Secure Boot by navigating to the Boot or Secure Boot menu in BIOS and setting it to enabled.
