4/29/2026

Summary

FitGirl Cracks Denuvo

FitGirl reported that all single-player, non-VR games using Denuvo have been cracked or bypassed via Hypervisor workarounds.
Voices38 cracked Resident Evil Requiem, the first 2026 Denuvo-protected game to be broken.
Irdeto, Denuvo’s parent, said it is developing a countermeasure and warned the cracks pose a security risk.
The hypervisor bypass runs at ring -1 beneath Windows, disables most protections, appears within hours of release, and exposes PCs to attack.

Summary

2K Enforces DRM

2K Games and other publishers have imposed 14-day online DRM checks on NBA 2K25, NBA 2K26 and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, requiring Denuvo server reconnection.
The checks, which limit offline play on PCs like the Steam Deck and ROG Xbox Ally X, are echoed by Sony’s PlayStation platform adding a 30-day verification for purchases.
Bypass (V3) can be enabled by disabling Core Isolation, making piracy easier but requiring trust in kernel drivers that expose security risks.
