Check that you're ready for invasive DRM with new feature built right into Steam — Secure Boot and TPM status now listed right in the app

Valve has introduced a new feature in the latest Steam beta that allows users to easily check their Secure Boot and TPM status directly within the app. Secure Boot and TPM are crucial security features required for many modern games, including competitive shooters, and are essential for Windows 11 compatibility. Secure Boot ensures only trusted software runs during PC startup, while TPM safeguards sensitive cryptographic keys. Enabling Secure Boot is important for launching games that rely on it for anti-cheat protection, and users can adjust settings in their BIOS if needed. These features aim to enhance system security but may raise concerns about access privileges.
