With the release of the new trendy shooter, from Xbox itself, they want to remind us that the battle is not only fought on screen, but also in the field of security. The company insists that keeping our equipment protected is no longer optional: it’s part of the online experience and another piece to ensure that matches remain fair for everyone.
The message is clear: if we disable Windows protections to gain an advantage, we’re not only breaking the rules, but also weakening the tools that studios use to detect cheating. When we all keep security active, developers can better distinguish between those who play clean and those who try to cheat.
Security on Xbox and PC to Stop Cheaters
Xbox explains that Windows 11 and modern hardware work together to create a trust environment similar to that of a console, something that games like Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 are already taking advantage of.
These are the technical bases mentioned:
| Function | What it brings to game security |
|---|---|
| TPM 2.0 | Stores keys securely and creates a hardware-level trust root. |
| Secure Boot | Only allows verified software to boot, preventing cheat injections at startup. |
| Virtualization-based Security (VBS) | Isolates sensitive processes to prevent unauthorized code from interfering with the game or anti-cheat. |
| Remote Attestation | Allows remote verification that the PC has booted in a trusted state. |
Additionally, Xbox encourages PC players to keep Windows 11 up to date, install the latest firmware/BIOS versions from the manufacturer, and check that TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot are enabled in the motherboard settings. They also recommend checking the security requirements for each competitive game to avoid surprises.
