For fans of Payday 3, we knew a while back that this game would receive Denuvo DRM. Developers and publishers have used this popular DRM software for several years. It’s also a relatively solid DRM to prevent piracy from taking video games and spreading them online. However, typically, we do see the Denuvo DRM removed well after the games have been released into the marketplace. That’s not too surprising as, at this point, the game has likely sold as many copies as possible and is marked down for those who might want an official copy of the game.
However, that’s not what’s happening right now for Payday 3. The video game was initially confirmed to have Denuvo DRM ahead of its launch. But today, the development team has taken to the official Payday video game X account to reveal that the DRM was removed. There won’t be Denuvo featured in the game at launch, but that doesn’t mean there’s not something else planned to take its place. At any rate, for fans, this might be a joyous announcement as Denuvo takes quite a bit of hate from the gaming community.
Hello heisters,
We want to inform you that Denuvo is no longer in PAYDAY 3.
We look forward to seeing you in New York City!
Happy heisting!
