A random update for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined has completely removed Denuvo DRM from the PC version of the game, nearly six months after release.
Whether you’re a casual PC gamer who only uses Steam from time to time or a hardcore player who has been shouting about the master race since the beginning, chances are you know and hate Denuvo DRM. The infamous anti-tamper software has become a regular annoyance for triple-A games, and something that everyone hates to see.
The main purpose of Denuvo is to prevent games from being pirated, but, more annoyingly, it has been proven to impact the performance of most games that utilise it. That makes it a big disappointment whenever it’s spotted in a game, and a big relief if it ever gets removed. Well, thankfully, this is yet another time to celebrate.
As pointed out by Redditor Fun-Possibility1462 on the CrackWatch subreddit, a random update for Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined that went live yesterday has suddenly removed Denuvo DRM from the game. SteamDB’s update log shows this, with a massive drop in data that’s found whenever the anti-tamper software is removed from a game.
A controversial classic...
