In fact, Reddit Community Manager u/slenderf0x made mention of this in a recent post on the Prey subreddit which officially stated that a July 23rd patch had removed Denuvo.
#DENUVO DRM CRACKED#
To make matters worse, the game’s DRM was cracked within a few days of its release, meaning that its inclusion was largely useless and served as nothing more than a headache for buyers. RELATED: Prey: 5 Things We Want From A Sequel (& 5 We Don't)
Although versions of the game available through GOG or Xbox Game Pass didn’t suffer the same fate, Steam’s download demanded Denuvo's installation, which was perceived by many to be one big middle finger to fans of Valve’s service. That said, the Steam version of the game came with one major caveat. Playing like a spiritual successor to the long-stagnant System Shock series, its blend of RPG, Stealth, and shooting mechanics was a breath of fresh air in the AAA space, and though it had virtually nothing to do with the original, Prey 2017 was a must-play for fans of the studio. Released in 2017, Preywas a successful-albeit relatively controversial-reboot of the 2006 FPS original.

#DENUVO DRM SOFTWARE#
This has prompted many publishers to either remove the software from their titles or forego it entirely, and, just recently, Arkane Studios saw fit to liberate the Steam version of one of their best games from its debilitating grip. Originally developed in 2014 to serve as an additional form of digital rights management, it quickly gained infamy as reports of in-game performance issues (and all sorts of ancillary problems) began to spread.
#DENUVO DRM SERIES#
Contrasting this with the drove of negative posts being left in Steam Discussions and forums like Reddit nowadays, however, it becomes difficult to suggest that the mood surrounding the game and its community is still one that carries the idea of good faith going forward into launch.ĭying Light 2: Stay Human is set to release on February 4, 2022, for PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series S/X, and PC.Aside from Electronic Arts’ continued support of so-called “surprise mechanics” in their sports titles, and the never-ending crime against humanity that is Bethesda’s Fallout 76, few things in the world of gaming are as widely reviled as Denuvo anti-piracy software. When it was first claimed that the game would have content covering hundreds of hours with years of support to come, the general view being held by the community at the time seemed to be optimistic, despite the witty remarks towards the incredulous amount of time that it will take to play the game to completion. The Community Manager Uncy expressed his understanding of player concerns and assures minimal to no discernable impact on the game’s performance with the inclusion of Denuvo. This understanding is seemingly supported by the official viewpoints being released by Techland, who has expressed their inclusion of Denuvo to be due to sales being affected during the first game of the series, a result that can be attributed to piracy.
