Denuvo is DRM software designed to prevent piracy or tampering. However, many PC players find that it interferes with performance and stability, especially on low-end systems. So, whenever a new big-budget title is release, they immediate check to see if it includes Denuvo.

Why skipping Denuvo on PC matters

The gaming community has been fairly vocal about the downside of games requiring a DRM software, specifically Denuvo. In any situation, removing the concern for this software is good. This is because it can drop performance, increase loading times, and, in some cases, cause instability for players on a system capable of running the game. It is definitely reassuring for those with mid-range systems.

For players, it’s one less barrier to worry about. For Konami, it’s a statement of prioritizing user experience over aggressive DRM protection despite piracy risks.
