Capcom Removes Denuvo from Resident Evil Village After Reports of DRM Reducing Performance

[Tsing]

Capcom has released a new update for Resident Evil Village that removes Denuvo from the 2021 survival horror game. The release of the update can be confirmed via SteamDB, whose listing for Resident Evil Village now includes a change about third-party DRM in the form of Denuvo anti-tamper having been removed on April 10, 2023. Digital Foundry shared a video in July 2021 that demonstrated how the cracked version of Resident Evil Village, which lacked copy protection, played much better, with smoother combat, and while Capcom had already released a PC performance patch to address Resident Evil Village's "weird" performance on PC some time ago, the game should now run better than ever.
