Ghostwire: Tokyo Finally Slashes The Denuvo DRM On Steam

Tango Gameworks has finally removed the anti-cheat Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo in a backend update. As found by the Reddit user u/Turbostrider27 on the Steam tracking site SteamDB, the devs have slashed the service after it was added abruptly alongside The Spider’s Thread update. It was likely removed because the DRM’s license ran out after serving its purpose.   

For those not in the know, The Spider’s Thread update comes with an expanded campaign, new areas, extended cutscenes, new side missions and enemies, a bunch of QoL fixes, and a roguelite mode. In short, it breathes new vigor into the already-fun experience. It makes sense why the devs would want to protect the update from being pirated by using Denuvo. However, many were still put off by it due to its repercussions.

Ghostwire: Tokyo Perfectly Depicts A Post-Apocalyptic Iteration Of Tokyo

The tantalizing open-world experience features a unique and highly realistic depiction of Tokyo. It makes the backdrop a gorgeous eye candy as players deal with the onslaught of enemies. So, it is no surprise that Tango Gameworks’ new direction proved to be a staggering success for them, as it easily surpassed over 6 million copies sold. And in a humorous finding, over 21 million gamers preferred to pet dogs over cats in the game.
