Denuvo Anti-Cheat now available to PS5 titles

The feature nobody asked for.

Denuvo Anti-Cheat is now available to PS5 titles, its creator Irdeto has revealed.

“Denuvo, the leader in video games protection, offers its Anti-Cheat solution through this program to publishers and developers whose games are available on PlayStation 5,” a statement from Irdeto reads.

“Cheating ruins video games for honest players,” said Reinhard Blaukovitsch, Managing Director of Denuvo, Irdeto. “This can lead to lower engagement, game traffic and shrinking revenues for game publishers. We are really proud be able to help the world’s most talented developers to bring rich experiences for gamers on Playstation 5.”

Denuvo has said that a “number of games” have already incorporated Anti-Cheat, which leads many to believe the likes of Demon’s Souls are sporting the feature.

Anti-Cheat is a common feature on PC, but often results in fan backlash; of late, id Software added and then later removed the feature.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.
