With the launch of Battlefield 6, we started to see a move towards anti-cheat implementations that require BIOS-level security features like Secure Boot and TPM in order to verify system trust. The next confirmed game launching with anti-cheat that requires both Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 is Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. While Battlefield 6 gives users an error if they try to launch a game without these features enabled, and Call of Duty will likely do the same, Steam appears to not want to leave this to chance.

The latest Steam client beta update adds capability to detect whether Secure Boot and TPM are enabled. For the time being, this will be limited to the System Information dialogue in the Help menu, but it will likely start to be featured somewhat more prominently if the anti-cheat requirements become more commonplace. Steam will also collect this information in the Steam Hardware and Software Survey . It's also unclear when the feature will arrive in the mainline Steam client.
