Denuvo anti-cheat software has been added to the PlayStation 5 instruments and middleware library. It gives developers greater access to add this ubiquitous anti-cheat software to their games, which will prevent hacking and modding. However, some fans are worried about Denuvo.
The instrument has two main objectives. The first is to prevent piracy of a game, and the second is to prevent hackers and fraudsters from interfering with online games. The PlayStation 5 app has only the anti-cheat functionality. In the announcement of Denuvo, the developer says that a number of PlayStation 5 launch titles used Denuvo but did not specify.
However, Denuvo is not without controversy. In May 2020, id Software removed Denuvo anti-cheat Doom Eternal shortly after it was added to the game, after a loud shout from some players, some of whom rated the game on Steam. Players were concerned about the access Denuvo had to their computer, and any interference in single-player campaigns. Similar issues have been raised about Valorant’s anti-cheat software, developed by Riot Games.
