iFixit has rated the Nintendo Switch 2's repairability very low at 3/10, citing issues such as persistent Joy-Con stick drift, difficult component replacements due to adhesive and anti-tamper measures, and the soldered game cartridge reader and USB-C ports, making repairs challenging for most users.
Denuvo, the controversial anti-tamper DRM software, wants to prove to PC gamers that its implementation does not negatively impact game performance. In an interview, Steeve Huin, COO of Videogames at Irdeto (the company that acquired Denuvo), defended the software and announced plans to allow select outlets to independently test game versions with and without Denuvo. Huin hopes that these benchmarks will convince gamers that Denuvo is not a performance issue. While Huin admitted that Denuvo may slightly affect performance by less than one percent, he clarified that this was in reference to the anti-cheat software, which is separate from the anti-tamper DRM. Denuvo plans to focus more on anti-cheating technologies in the future.
Capcom has added Denuvo anti-tamper to the Steam version of Street Fighter 6 just two days before its launch. Denuvo is designed to protect against pirating and hacking and is included in many other Capcom games on PC. The change was made to the Steam page between May 30 and May 31, and it is not clear why Capcom added it so close to the release date. Denuvo has been included in many big PC releases this year, including Atomic Heart and the remake of Dead Space.
