Paradox Interactive has removed Denuvo anti-tamper technology from the PC version of the survival simulator Stranded: Alien Dawn. This change comes almost a year after the game's full release.

In Stranded: Alien Dawn, players take control of a small group of people stranded on a distant planet. Players must explore a vast world with alien lifeforms, gather resources, hunt, grow plants, upgrade their base into a high-tech outpost, create defensive mechanisms, monitor the physical and psychological state of the main characters, and protect them from hunger, disease, and weather disasters.

Stranded: Alien Dawn was developed by Bulgarian studio Haemimont Games, known for Tropico 3, Tropico 4, Tropico 5, Surviving Mars and Jagged Alliance 3. The game was released on October 12, 2022, in Early Access on Steam, where it received 84% positive reviews. The full release took place on April 25, 2023. The project is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

As a reminder, Denuvo was removed from the golf simulator PGA Tour 2K23 at the end of July. Prior to that, the anti-tamper system was removed from the action strategy game set in Japan, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
