Epic Games brings Secure Boot and TPM to competitive Fortnite — most players unaffected by new measures

Epic Games has introduced Secure Boot and TPM requirements for competitive Fortnite tournaments to combat cheat programs that bypass anti-cheat measures. These security measures, also required for Windows 11, aim to ensure fair gameplay by preventing cheats that operate at a deep system level. While these requirements only apply to tournament players, Epic's focus on maintaining fairness in Fortnite is evident through technical and legal actions against cheaters. Players aiming to participate in Fortnite tournaments should ensure their systems meet the specified security criteria, which can be easily configured through UEFI settings.
