Only 52 Denuvo games remain “uncracked”.

by

Several months ago, video game pirates wondered aloud if Denuvo, the anti-tampering DRM that prevents titles on PC from being “cracked” and released by pirates, “won” given its effectiveness in stopping piracy in its tracks. A few months later, pirates are singing a different tune, as around 52 Denuvo titles remain uncracked by pirates,

As first shared by infamous repacker FitGirl on their website, the number of games that still have Denuvo and are pirated is shrinking at an otherworldly rate.

“But I think it will soon clear up or leave some obscure titles with more protection,” they wrote. “I can only imagine the tough conversations they have with Denuvo execs and customers.”

Denuvo may be in trouble, as pirates are easily cracking games like Frontier 4 and Infinite Wealth with a new method.

Borderlands 4, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and many more have already been cracked.

Much of that is thanks to a new form of Denuvo Bypass called Hypervisor that's been making the rounds, making titles like Crimson Desert playable day-in and day-out, if you're willing to sacrifice some security features. There is still debate as to whether this is an official form of “cracking” and whether players should believe it, but many have already decided that.

“As for the recent spate of HV repacks – keep calm, if you don't like it,” the post continued. “Things will soon balance out. And repacks with traditional cracks will prevail.”

What remains are primarily sports titles, although there are a few heavy-hitters

On CrackWatch, where the full list is kept, these are the games that have not been breached:

It's heavy on racing and sports titles, with some heavy-hitters mixed in, as well as some very recent releases (Mega Man, Anno 117) that are prime targets for pirates to take advantage of.

So did Denuvo win? It's hard to say, but the war is tilting in favor of piracy.
