While the Steam version of the game allegedly did not come with DRM to begin with, it existed in other versions of it, and while it's taken Crytek just over a year to finally take it out, fans of the remaster will likely be pleased about the news. With that, it looks as though Crytek has gone ahead and got rid of Denuvo from last year's remaster of the original Crysis game.Īccording to a recent report, the studio behind 2020's Crysis Remastered has seen it fit to remove the controversial anti-tamper tech. Having said that, sometimes studios will remove it after the fact, either to appease the fan base, or for some other reason. Although brand-new AAA games like Back 4 Blood are still having Denuvo installed, it's often a bit of a thorn in the community's side. This is a puzzling choice that has unfortunately left Steam players at a disadvantage, but hopefully the playing field will be leveled in the near future.It's safe to assume that not many gamers are keen on DRM anti-tamper software, especially when it comes to Denuvo. Denuvo DRM is only attached to the game on Steam, whereas the GOG version is Denuvo and DRM-free.

While most fans seem to be thrilled that the Denuvo DRM will be removed soon, some noted that the change should have been made some time ago.

If work on the backend had gone as intended, the DRM software would already be gone, but due to an unintended issue, the change had to be rolled back. The Prey community manager took to Reddit to inform users that the process of getting rid of Denuvo was underway.

Luckily for PC players of Prey, they won't have to worry about Denuvo anymore in the near future. While the software is intended to protect games from being cracked or otherwise meddled with, it's not always successful, and gamers argue that it also reduces the performance of their computers. PC gamers are often outspoken about their loathing of Denuvo and other DRM - or digital rights management - software being tacked on to videogames.
