Ghostwire: Tokyo’s Latest Update Gets Controversial Denuvo Anti-Tamper Software
As part of a recent update released for Ghostwire: Tokyo, Bethesda seems to have also added the controversial DRM Denuvo to the game’s PC version. Caught by DSOGaming, the addition of Denuvo copy protection hasn’t yet been confirmed by publisher Bethesda. It is, however, now mentioned on the game’s Steam page that it uses Denuvo.
DSOGaming was able to catch the presence of the controversial copy protection software by changing the number of CPU cores used by the game. After five changes, the game showed a telltale authentication error message, confirming the presence of the DRM.
The latest update for Ghostwire: Tokyo, dubbed the Spider’s Thread update, brought with it a host of new content for the game, alongside new features to bring players who might have been done with the original release of the game back. Bethesda likely saw a potential influx of new players thanks to the update as an opportunity for new sales, bringing Denuvo copy protection to help bolster sales.
Alongside the Spider’s Thread update, Ghostwire: Tokyo has also made its way on to Xbox Series X/S. For more details about the game’s newest release, check out our review of the Xbox Series X/S version of Ghostwire: Tokyo.
