Denuvo is a top company that helps protect games on computers, phones, and game consoles from being pirated (illegally copied or shared). The company not only prevents games from piracy but also exposes players who cheats in competitive multiplayer games. Many games like Fifa 23, Monster Hunter Rise, and Battlefield 2042 use Denuvo DRM (Digital Rights Management) protection. According to recent news that has surfaced online, Denuvo might now be available on the Nintendo Switch.
Denuvo will now protect games launching on Nintendo Switch from piracy using its latest Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection. If you’re not familiar, there are certain programs online that let you play Nintendo Switch games on your computer. These programs are called emulators. As per the Denuvo team, if a game is protected against piracy on the PC version, the Nintendo Switch version can be emulated from day one and played on the PC. By blocking unauthorized emulations on PC, the Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection will ensure that anyone who wants to play the title will have to buy a permitted copy of the game.
As we all know, Denuvo protection greatly impacts the game’s performance on PC. We can only imagine what effect this might have on Nintendo Switch. Denuvo will have to come up with a solution to protect the games without having any effect on performance.
In related news, Nintendo might launch its Nintendo Switch 2 in the second quarter of 2024. According to reports, the company has been waiting this long because it doesn’t want to be a victim of the pandemic’s chip crisis. The full news covered by us can be found by clicking on this link.
