Assassin’s Creed Shadows is right on the horizon. This article will discuss whether Assassin’s Creed Shadows has Denuvo.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the latest entry in Ubisoft’s legendary series. Anticipation for a chapter of the Assassins set in Japan was much sought after by fans and video game enthusiasts. Now, the game is just days away from hitting the shelves.
AC Shadows will prevail as the ride-or-die chance for Ubisoft amid the bankruptcy rumors. To maximize profits, as usual, Ubisoft might implement Denuvo, the notorious DRM protection. Here’s everything you need to know about the Denuvo DRM protection and whether it will be present in AC Shadows.
Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Denuvo?
Ubisoft is known to add Denuvo DRM on all of their games. Similarly, Assassin’s Creed Shadows has the anti-tamper Denuvo protection DRM, making it impossible to pirate.
You can verify it on the game’s Steam page’s bottom right section displaying Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-tamper. This devastating news disappointed many hardcore fans of the series as Denuvo is infamous for impacting the game’s performance by a large margin. However, there’s a chance, albeit slight, that Ubisoft may remove the DRM protection somewhere in the far future.
What is Denuvo?
Denuvo is an anti-tamper digital rights management software that keeps the game’s license in check. It verifies everything through the internet, and even if at the mercy of the slightest suspicion, the software locks out the game files and halts the launching process. Additionally, if you try to launch the game in offline mode, it’ll simply deny the ownership.
In today’s industry, Denuvo is a norm that allows developers to churn out maximum profits from their intellectual properties. While it helps in raking in profit, if poorely implemented it utterly destroys a game’s optimization, inflicting a severe hit on the performance. This makes the game nearly unplayable, even on the latest technology of this generation.
