Denuvo has been removed from Monster Hunter World
Over the years, Denuvo has been blamed for hampering the performance of a lot of PC releases, with more outlandish claims stating that the anti-tamper technology also reduces SSD lifespans, and causes a lot of additional wear on certain system components. The truth about Denuvo is that, when implemented correctly, the software only eats away at a few CPU cycles and increases game loading times. However, sub-par DRM implementations can have a larger impact on game performance.Â
Back in 2029, we tested Denuvo’s performance impact on this title back in 2019 (Devil May Cry 5 – Denuvo Performance Impact Tested) and found that the technology has a minimal impact on game performance in most circumstances.Â
Denuvo’s removal from Devil May Cry 5 gave the game marginally higher framerates in CPU-limited scenarios and faster load times. The same benefits are likely to be available with Monster Hunter World’s new Denuvo-free version.Â
All mentions of Denuvo have been removed from Monster Hunter World’s Steam page, further confirming that the anti-tamper technology has been removed from the game.
Monster Hunter World’s latest update also decreased the game’s install size by 481.88 MB, a storage saving that is consistent with removing Denuvo from other large game exes.
