Anti-Piracy Software Denuvo Announced for Switch

A well-known example is when Resident Evil Village was released on PC with Denuvo, hackers found that it caused performance issues. Capcom later released a patch that adjusted the anti-piracy software in question.

Irdeto is hoping to clamp down on pirates who dump Nintendo Switch games online so that they can be played with emulators. A move that is in line with Nintendo’s strict stance against piracy.

Nintendo previously sued websites that host pirated games and has won millions of dollars in compensation and successfully shut down piracy websites.

No word on when the anti-piracy software will be implemented and for which games, nor will we know about any potential effects on performance until it is released.
