Capcom’s latest decision may upset PC players. Resident Evil 9 confirmed to include Denuvo protection

Anti-piracy measures are always a sensitive topic. When developers announce plans to use them, it often sparks debate and strong feelings. So, the recent news that Resident Evil Requiem will include Denuvo is likely to cause a mixed response.

Capcom has detailed its anti-cheat measures for the next game in the popular series on the game’s Steam page. They’ve highlighted two key points about how they’ll be protecting the game.

  1. The first one mentions the use of the aforementioned Denuvo anti-piracy software.
