Denuvo, a digital rights management system owned by Irdeto, is reportedly enhancing its security measures to combat game piracy techniques involving hypervisors. These ongoing efforts aim to protect digital products and video games from unauthorized access.
According to reports from Star Wars Gaming, a new patch has been implemented to address hypervisor-based vulnerabilities. This updated protection is currently featured in the newly released title Star Wars: Galactic Racer.
The Steam store page for Star Wars: Galactic Racer indicates the inclusion of Denuvo Anti-Tamper with a 5-machine activation limit. This restriction specifically governs how many distinct hardware devices can activate the game, rather than limiting the number of times a user can install the software on a single machine.
While this mechanism may inconvenience users who frequently switch between different PCs, its effectiveness against hypervisor exploits remains unproven. As of 10/10, no successful bypasses for this specific title have been observed, and it is currently unclear if the updated DRM will successfully prevent future tampering attempts.
