Payday 3 Developers Remove Denuvo DRM Right Before Release
The Denuvo DRM has always been one of the least liked and controversial software for gamers. The DRM is known for its tampering, and kernel-level scans that often hamper a game's performance. In the past, major AAA titles such as Ghostwire: Tokyo, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, and Doom Eternal have received significant backlash from fans regarding performance and Denuvo's incorporation. While some of the developers for these titles removed the DRM shortly after their launch, fans still complained about poor performance on release.
Before the Open Beta session for Payday 3, Starbreeze Studios posted an official FAQ mentioning the existence of Denuvo in the title back on August 4, 2023. The developers said incorporating the anti-tampering DRM was strictly due to fighting piracy and cheating, offering players a fair experience. However, Starbreeze Studios has taken the extra step to provide fans with a more genuine experience in terms of performance.
The previous Payday games have been a popular tag in the gaming community with a unique take on the FPS genre. Heisting banks and essential locations in video games is a special feeling that few titles have offered. Both beta sessions for Payday 3 were optimized according to fans when playing the title. With Denuvo's removal before its complete launch, the title could get a performance boost.
