Members of the CrackWatch subreddit drew attention to the fact that on the Sniper Elite 5 game page on Steam, an indication appeared to use Denuvo protection. It has often been criticized by users, pointing out that the mechanics negatively affect the performance of the project. At the same time, a number of developers (for example, Creative Assembly and Techland) continue to use it in their games.
This means that in the first days the hacked version of Sniper Elite 5 will not appear on sites of the same name. In addition, the number of hacker groups that break Denuvo continues to decline, although it cannot be said that the fifth part of the sniper series is a long-awaited game for hundreds of thousands of users.
The release of the novelty comes out on May 26 this year.
The action game also received a content update.
