Game developers and publishers can now access the video game protection software in the middleware section of the Nintendo Developers Portal.

And here we go. Expect your C-tier AAA games to have Denuvo on Switch, stopping players from emulating it.

    I just need to know which titles have it so I don’t buy those games. It requires an always online connection and that’s a major dealbreaker for me.

        I will say this post isn’t completely true. Denuvo (on pc) requires online checks but from what I’ve experienced it’s typically every 2-4 weeks. I’ve played persona 4 and 5 on my steam deck without internet just fine.

        even when I’m home, my switch is in airplane mode unless I’m actively playing online. it’s crazy how often some games try to phone home, never realized until I got into this habit and started seeing the “please turn off airplane mode” popup

          No? I’ve definitely played denuvo games on my steam deck completely offline. It’s like a once a month check or something.

          And according to the website the drm is moreso hardware based, which is much more feasible on set hardware like the switch versus PC.

          Fuck Denuvo and all but let’s keep speculation and facts clear
