❗ Critical PC System Requirements (Mandatory)
Activision has issued a strong warning to PC players:
🛡️ You WILL NOT be able to play in beta or at launch without enabling:
- TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module)
- Secure Boot
This is enforced to prevent cheating via modified hardware or unauthorized software.
- Similar to Battlefield 6, Black Ops 7 uses these security features to maintain fair gameplay and anti-cheat integrity.
- Players must ensure their motherboard supports TPM 2.0 and that both TPM and Secure Boot are enabled in BIOS/UEFI settings.
- Failure to meet these requirements will result in launch failure or access denial.
🔧 Pro Tip: Check your system's BIOS settings before beta launch. Many modern PCs have these features enabled by default, but some older models may require updates or configuration changes.
📌 Final Launch Date
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 releases officially on:
November 14, 2025
