Denuvo gets its biggest blow yet as pirates have now run out of Denuvo games to crack as of April 2026. All non-VR games are bypassed using Hypervisor. Will countermeasures do something?
The HV bypass is a blow to both the industry and piracy. All games are easy to pirate now, but aint no way I’m messing with my machine so much just to pirate those games.
I don’t think the situation is practically any worse than before for piracy if you just ignore these bypasses. It’s not like there was a huge crowd of crackers ready to take on denuvo before they were pushed out by these bypasses. Proper cracks still depend on basically just that one guy.

Games are already a security nightmare. Apex had am RCE in a game with fucking kernel level anticheat.
Fucking think about that.
If you care about privacy or security you should’ve started playing games in a VM with pass through years ago.
If it doesn’t run in a VM it doesn’t get played.
98% of gamers dont even understand what you saod here

It just seems to me, that because it is trivial to crack them with HV, there’s less effort to crack them properly.
