However, sub-par DRM implementations can have a larger impact on performance.ĭevil May Cry 5's latest update has removed Denuvo's anti-tamper technology from the game, arriving 11 months after the game's release on PC.

The truth about Denuvo is that, when implemented correctly, it eats away at some CPU cycles and increased game loading times. Whether Deathloop gets the same treatment as Prey remains to be seen.Denuvo has long been blamed for performance issues in the world of PC gaming, with more outlandish claims stating that the anti-tamper technology also reduces SSD lifespans, and causes a lot of additional wear on certain system components. He attributes them to the presence of Denuvo, and it does make a lot of sense. Considering the fact that he is using the second-best gaming GPU one can get right now, the performance issues are quite strange. He states that he is facing performance issues with even a 3080 TI and 64GB RAM, which is way above the recommended system requirements.

If early reviews are to be believed, Deathloop is indeed facing some performance issues due to the presence of Denuvo. It seems like the internet is all set for another round of debate against Denuvo, as history is likely repeating itself again. Keeping that in perspective, Arkane adding Denuvo to Deathloop made little sense. What’s surprising is the fact that one of Arkane’s critically acclaimed titles, Prey, had Denuvo itself but it was removed because it had quite a significant impact on the game’s performance.
