Denuvo 4.8 has finally been hacked

It was only a matter of time, the most advanced anti-piracy system on the market, Denuvo 4.8, has finally been broken so the games that are based on it have been fully exposed to crackers.

Denuvo 4.8 has fallen after all

An unknown group of crackers has managed to break security in Sonic Forces, one of the games that are based on Denuvo 4.8 so it is only a matter of time that we see the same thing in the rest of the video games that implement it.

Denuvo 4.8 is the DRM system used in many of the most important games that have hit the market in recent months, some examples of which are Assassin's Creed: Origins, Football Manager 2018, Need for Speed ​​Payback, Star Wars Battlefront 2, Injustice 2 and Star Ocean: The Last Hope HD Remaster. All these games have managed to finish the year 2017 without being hacked, something that has been quite an achievement because the first weeks of life of a game is where most of the sales are concentrated, so the objective is to protect it from pirates. during this time.

Assassin's Creed Origins ravages the processor for abusing DRM

The break of Denuvo 4.8 does not imply its removal, only a patch has been placed so the DRM system continues to work despite the fact that the crackers are able to skip its checks. This is important since Denuvo will continue to consume resources in these games even though they have been hacked.

In the case of Assassin's Creed: Origins, Ubisoft uses VMProtect as a second DRM system to protect Denuvo, it will be interesting to see if this game is finally hacked now that the latest version of Denuvo has dropped.

After this it is to be hoped that we will soon see a new version of Denuvo to put the brakes on PC video game piracy again.
