The latest move in Epic Games's ongoing fight against cheaters in Fortnite sees the gaming giant implement hardware-level security in Easy Anti-Cheat implementation, at least for those players looking to participate in tournaments. As of February 18, 2026, tournament players will need to enable TPM,...
The fact that Fortnite has been going THIS STRONG for THIS LONG, and is still basically the most profitable competitive online game ever just proves that none of that shit is necessary.
yea, it was a big thing in '16 around the same time pokemongo was released, by GO fell off as the years went on, they still have a sizable amount of people playing. but fortnite just gets more people playing because they have skins or crossovers.
Cheaters are getting more and more numerous all the time; they have to take steps to not be completely overrun.
My wife got eliminated by a 100% invisible player a week or so ago. No in-game item or event makes you completely invisible like that. The stealth splash item and the hide-and-seek event are both imperfect camoflage. So clearly this player was hacking. If she encountered players like that in every game, she’d quit, understandably.
Another reason not to play this game. I dual booted Windows because of this game having a pretty decent PvE mode, though they don’t give a shit about it anymore.

Unfortunately the PvE mode isn’t available there.
The annoying part is this doesn’t stop cheating, just pisses off the regular users.
For the infinityth time: Games don’t get to tell me how I use my computer

cheaters already have bypasses for hardware-level anticheat. in practice this just serves to restrict us.

I’ve heard you can play it on linux running the android version.
Its fun that all the things that requite secure boot and TPM are things I just don’t want anyways.
Fuck em, I switched to linux anyway.
There’s other games in town.
And they all require secure boot too
There’s less than 10 that require secure boot, and they’re all toxic moneygrab multiplayer shooters.
Compared to the 10’s of thousands of gamed on Steam that don’t require secure boot, that a far cry from “they all requure secure boot”.
But go ahead. Lick the boots harder
All the more reason to not use the epic games store…
Fortnite itself isn’t good enough reason?
I don’t even claim the freebies anymore.
Never did. Poisoned well.
Fuck them. I played for my computer, it uses my electricity and my internet. It better do as I please!
