Wuchang Fallen Feathers is now out, and the game is soaring through Steam charts, boasting over 100,000 concurrent players just a few hours after launch. While the game can certainly boast about its player count, its reviews are in the “mostly negative” category. This is due to the game’s terrible performance issues, which have sparked a whole new discussion about Denuvo and its impact on performance. 

If you were someone engaging in this discussion and blaming Denuvo for the game’s poor performance, we may have bad news for you. Wuchang Fallen Feathers likely does not have Denuvo. This information comes from various forums, which have revealed that the game has been cracked. If the game was cracked on day one, this either means no Denuvo or that Denuvo DRM was broken through easily. Knowing how efficient Denuvo is, it is safe to bet on the former.

As stated earlier, Wuchang Fallen Feathers may not have Denuvo. If you’re unfamiliar with what Denuvo is, it is a Digital Rights Management (DRM) software that protects games from piracy. Since the game has already been pirated on day one, the presence of Denuvo can be safely ruled out of the question. 

While the game may not have Denuvo for DRM purposes, it does have the Steam DRM. Each time you log in and play the game, Steam’s built-in DRM verifies your account and license purchase. This is a less effective defense against piracy. Piracy may seem like an easy way to experience the game, especially considering its $50 price tag. But we highly recommend supporting the devs in their endeavor. This ensures that we get quality games throughout, and devs actually put in effort into their PC ports. 

If the price tag happens to be an issue, you can also check out Wuchang Fallen Feathers on Xbox Game Pass. The game is available on Xbox Game Pass day one, and this means you can go play it on the subscription service right now for a much cheaper price.
