Star Wars: Galactic Racer appears to be the first title affected by a new Denuvo update that interferes with a common hypervisor bypass. The PC version went several days without a crack after launch, and one bypass creator said the updated protection can cause the game to crash as soon as it starts. -
After a month without new releases, Voices38 is back with a traditional crack for Atomfall, Rebellion's survival action game protected by Denuvo Anti-Tamper. It is the cracker's first new release in a month, arriving while Denuvo pursues him in court over alleged protection bypasses in 26 games. -
Denuvo's filing identifies one Discord user ID, a Reddit account and seven Steam profiles associated with the alias voices38, but it does not name the person behind them. The company says it wants the data solely to establish the defendant's identity. -
It looks like Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis may no longer use Denuvo. The mention of the third-party DRM system Denuvo Anti-tamper has disappeared from the game's Steam page, although it was previously listed there. -
Silent Hill: Townfall ended up on pirate sites two days before release — the game shipped without Denuvo
Konami already ran into this last year and doesn't seem to have learned anything from it. By this point, the game's story has already fully spread across the internet anyway. -
SEGA has officially stripped the controversial Denuvo DRM from the Steam versions of its strategy titles, Total War: Three Kingdoms and Total War: Pharaoh Dynasties. The move follows the recent DRM-free releases of both games on GOG. -
Denuvo's first-ever US lawsuit against a game cracker doesn't seem to have made much of an impression on the defendant. He fit his response into two short lines. -
Denuvo GmbH has taken its fight against game cracking to U.S. federal court, filing suit against the anonymous cracker known as voices38. The company is also trying to identify him, turning the case into a broader effort to learn who is behind the cracks. -
Bandai Namco has rolled out update 2.0 for Code Vein 2 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, and the patch also removes Denuvo from the game. The anti-tamper software's mention has disappeared from the Steam page as well. -
After a long silence, a cracker going by voices38 released five titles back to back, each one stripped of its Denuvo protection. The list includes Mortal Kombat 1, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Star Wars Outlaws, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, and Persona 3 Reload. All five appeared within 24 hours, which for this kind of protection isn't routine — it's rare. Cracking a single game usually takes months. -
Notorious scene cracker Voices38 has announced a proper, full-fledged crack for the PC version of the hit fighting game Mortal Kombat 1, successfully bypassing its anti-tamper Denuvo protection. The milestone comes almost exactly three years after the game's initial release. -
Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched on PC, PlayStation 5, Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S on September 4, 2026, and the game quickly drew a large Steam audience. The PC version also saw a hypervisor-based workaround for its Denuvo protection soon after release. -
It's been a productive summer for the cracker going by voices38. In July he finished off Assassin's Creed Shadows, which had held out for almost sixteen months, and now it's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced's turn. The remake launched on July 9, so its protection lasted a little over a month — a decent run for a major Ubisoft release, but the outcome was the same. Both games were covered by the same combination: the latest version of Denuvo plus the publisher's own proprietary protective layers, which until recently were considered unbreakable by classic cracking methods. -
The cracker voices38 hit two Denuvo-protected games on the same day: Crimson Desert and Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. In Crimson Desert, the bypass makes Denuvo think the player has a valid license, but it does not fully remove the protection.
That means the crack still leaves Denuvo running in the background, so this is a bypass rather than a complete removal. In practice, the game can be launched without the protection acting as a full barrier, but the system itself remains in place. -
Developer Mundfish has removed the Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM system from the PC version of their sci-fi shooter, Atomic Heart. The move comes roughly 3 years and 5 months after the game's initial launch back on February 21, 2023. -

Another Denuvo-protected game has been cracked without a hypervisor — this one held out for over a year
Hacker voices38, already known for cracking Assassin's Creed Shadows, Resident Evil Requiem, and a good dozen other Denuvo-protected games, has now gotten to The First Berserker: Khazan. The release of the classic crack was reported by the CrackWatch community, which tracks the state of DRM protections. -
007 First Light's Title Update 1.1.0, Behind Enemy Lines, adds new TacSim missions, weapons, and an outfit. It also quietly drops Denuvo from the PC version, and the game's Steam page no longer mentions the anti-piracy protection. -
