The truth and truth is that everything related to Windows 11 has been, since its announcement, a bit chaotic. Microsoft You haven’t handled the information very well, such as which processors were valid or whether you could actually install the operating system without TPM 2.0. Well, even if you can, it will be better to follow the recommendations: games like Valorant are will benefit from the extra security of W11, due out on October 5.
As reported by Xda-developers, some players who have been able to test Windows 11 have realized that Valorant will also require the using a TPM 2.0. The “Trusted Platform Module” chip serves to protect data used to verify a device, to maintain its platform integrity, to easily encrypt disks, and to host passwords and certificates.
These users have noticed that, when launching Valorant in Windows 11, a new message pops up that forces the user to have TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled to be able to play. The use of this chip brought a lot of controversy, since many current computers do not have it (although you could have it disabled and not know it) and many complain that Microsoft is forcing with W11 to buy new computers.
Why use TPM 2.0 in video games?
The reason for this use is simple: the TPM 2.0 will prevent players from cheating. It is considered to be a much more reliable system, due to the different security protocols that this chip has. In fact, we may see these requirements in the future as normal in competitive multiplayer play. Still, it is too early to know 100%. Nor should it be ruled out that Riot games enable this requirement in Windows 10.
