Denuvo Aims to Clear Its Name: Proving DRM Doesn't Impact Game Performance

Denuvo, the maker of anti-tamper software used by major PC games, plans to conduct independent testing to prove that its DRM technology does not negatively impact game performance. Over the years, Denuvo has faced criticism for allegedly causing issues such as increased loading times and decreased framerates. While some publishers have removed Denuvo from their games due to performance concerns, other tests have suggested that its removal does not improve performance significantly. To settle the debate, Denuvo will provide two versions of a game—one with Denuvo and one without—to trusted media outlets for side-by-side testing. The company aims to gain the trust of the gaming community and change the perception that it is a negative force in the industry.

Denuvo Aims to Clear Its Name: Debunking Performance Impact of DRM

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.
