Epic Games mandated Secure Boot, TPM, and IOMMU for all PC players in Fortnite esports tournaments starting February 19th. IOMMU protects game memory from illegal cheat hardware access. The move mirrors Activision's September 2025 anti-cheat expansion for Call of Duty, which reportedly eliminated cheaters from 99% of ranked matches.
