Denuvo drops version 5.0 of its anti-piracy tech

Just days ago, crackers beat the Denuvo 4.8 anti-tamper technology but it appears Denuvo is one step ahead of crackers as the company just rolled out version 5.0. This update reportedly contains significant changes, and is already adopted by the new Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite game.

To be honest, this is precisely what Denuvo has to do in order to protect all future titles; releasing a brand new version the moment the previous one gets cracked. As such, the company will be able to secure the first month/months sales of the games using it. After that, it will be up to the developers/publisher to either upgrade their Denuvo version or simply remove it.

At the moment, Assassin’s Creed Origins, Need for Speed Payback, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Injustice 2 and Star Ocean: The Last Hope HD Remaster are still safe from piracy. Sonic Forces is the only game with Denuvo 4.8 that got cracked so far.
