Bethesda has removed Denuvo anti-tamper technology from the PC version of Ghostwire: Tokyo. It was removed from the Tango Gameworks title on April 17, according to the independent Steam tracking service SteamDB. Denuvo was added to the game last April, over a year after its original release. It arrived as part of a wider update which also introduced new story missions, combat abilities and a rogue-lite ‘Spider’s Thread’ mode. The DRM tech has been the source of controversy for some time now, as some players believe it can have an adverse effect on PC game performance. Security software company Denuvo recently introduced new watermarking tech designed to identify leakers. TraceMark for Gaming is described as a “pioneering watermarking solution” which “leverages the core invisible watermark technology trusted by Hollywood studios, sports leagues, and pay-TV operators”. Billed as the first watermarking product aimed specifically at the games industry, TraceMark for Gaming can be integrated into a developer’s normal workflow and lets them apply watermarks to a game during development. The tech can add both visible and invisible watermarks, with each copy of the game featuring a unique mark. The aim is to help developers find out who’s sharing early code or footage of pre-release games by giving them the tools to track down where it came from.
