The gaming community is buzzing with discussions about InZOI and its use of Denuvo DRM. Recently, the developers behind the game addressed concerns regarding how this anti-piracy software affects performance.
Official Update on Denuvo in InZOI
The latest update regarding InZOI’s use of Denuvo anti-tamper software comes via the game’s official Discord channel. On March 26th, Producer & Director Kjun shared a lengthy message regarding Krafton’s decision about Denuvo going forward.
Why Denuvo Was Used
The statement clarifies that Denuvo was initially intended to prevent piracy and illegal distribution of InZOI. The presence of Denuvo in the InZOI: Creative Studio demo was due to its use in the main game branch. The team apologized for not properly disclosing this beforehand.
Krafton’s Decision to Remove Denuvo
Ultimately, Krafton has decided to remove Denuvo from InZOI entirely for the Early Access launch. The reason? The company acknowledged that Denuvo could negatively impact the player experience more than originally anticipated. For now, this means that the game will move forward without Denuvo during Early Access.
Future of Denuvo in InZOI
It’s important to note that this decision applies specifically to the Early Access build of InZOI. While Krafton has apologized for not disclosing Denuvo’s presence in the demo, it remains unclear whether the final version of the game will include Denuvo or not. This suggests that Krafton is still evaluating its long-term approach based on player feedback.
Commitment to Modding Support
Krafton has also reaffirmed its commitment to making the game a highly moddable game. Part of the Early Access roadmap includes official mod support, which is planned to launch in May. Removing Denuvo from the Early Access build was a step towards supporting modding in InZOI.
Conclusion
The Denuvo controversy in InZOI remains a major discussion point among gamers. However, Krafton’s decision to remove it for Early Access and their commitment to modding show that they are listening to the community. As the game progresses through Early Access, player feedback will likely shape its final form.
