Denuvo, an anti-cheat and DRM (digital rights management) software that has become synonymous with performance issues, is coming to Nintendo Switch games<\/a> in an attempt to block users from emulating games on PC. The service claims the new software has \u201cno impact on the gaming experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Denuvo\u2019s software currently comes bundled with a number of games on PC, including Marvel\u2019s Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em>, FIFA 22<\/em>, Deathloop<\/em>, and many, many more<\/a>. The software has a history<\/a> of affecting<\/a> performance<\/a> on the games it\u2019s included with, and when its servers go down, all the games it supports go down with it<\/a>. Fans even pleaded with the developers of Humankind <\/em>to remove it<\/a> \u2014 which the studio ended up doing.<\/p>\n
Denuvo\u2019s implementation on the Switch is made specifically to prevent users from emulating their games on PC. While Denuvo\u2019s pretty light on the details, it sounds like it may prevent Switch users from dumping the contents of their games on PC, which they would then run with an emulator. This only applies to the games that actually use the software, of course, and right now, there\u2019s no telling which developers might adopt it or what impact it might have on games running it.<\/p>\n
\nNintendo may even be going after YouTubers who emulate their games on Steam Deck<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nNintendo has grappled with piracy issues for years. In 2019, Nintendo sued ROMUniverse<\/a>, a site that houses a library of thousands of pirated games, over \u201cbrazen and mass scale infringement.\u201d Nintendo won its $2.1 million lawsuit against the site\u2019s owner<\/a> in May 2021 and subsequently ordered him to destroy all Nintendo ROMs<\/a> on the site in August. <\/p>\n
That obviously didn\u2019t solve all of Nintendo\u2019s problems though, as some PC gamers got access to an emulated version of Metroid Dread<\/em><\/a> just days after it was released for the Switch last October. Nintendo may even be going after YouTubers who emulate their games on Steam Deck as well, as it appears to have issued a takedown request<\/a> for a video that shows players how to install and use an emulator.<\/p>\n
We still don\u2019t know when exactly Switch developers will start using the software. But for the sake of preserving decent gameplay, we can only hope it won\u2019t be widely implemented.<\/p>\n
