Assassin's Creed® Odyssey cracked by CPY.
also it appears that HITMAN 2 got cracked even before its official release by FCKDRM too.

It seems HITMAN 2 is broken though. At least for some, It starts but you can't play any of levels. I'd guess because they allow you to select what levels to download.
And in other news, they still haven't fixed preload for legit customers. You can only preload 8GB of 100GB aka the mandatory portion / tutorial.

yeah maybe a scene group will release the full version when it launches :)

Looks like that crack still doesn't work according to reports
But you can use demo from steam to activate pirated full version, full with online features(?). "oops".

It seems they finally fixed it.
EDIT: not for AMD users :(

I've seen posts on various sites stating the Origin purchased version of Mad Max had Denuvo patched out. Does anybody have anything factual on this (one way or another). I use duckduckgo, so search results are not always 100% what i want (hence I ask here).

Origin version of Mad Max is Denuvo free according to Denuvo Games group (curator)
Uses Denuvo. Proof below. Also available Denuvo free on Origin.

I think, it may be worth to mention as this is a standalone release. Far.Cry.5.Dead.Living.Zombies-CODEX

What the difference between "cracked" and "bypassed" ?
Comment has been collapsed.
Back in the day I understood "bypassed" as some kind of Denuvo emulation, so they did not really remove the protection from the exe. Cracked means, in theory, a clean executable (DRM free). With the most recent Denuvo versions I think they are using emulation again but I really haven't investigated thoroughly, sorry.

FIFA 19, and maybe CPY is leaving the scene, wonder what it would do to it.
Oh someone already beat me to it.

Upcoming list is missing Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden

I just read that Just Cause 4 has been cracked two days after release. Crazy. It doesn't look good for Denuvo.

And another one, just to keep the list up to date: Life.Is.Strange.2.Episode.1.Roads-CPY

And Resident evil 2 codex crack is here. Amazing work by denuvo in providing 'protection against piracy in the crucial launch period'.

Noticed that it's not mentioned in this thread, but Lords of the Fallen GOTY is available DRM free on GOG.

So i wonder, you 687 who voted for no buying of Denuvo games, do you pirate them instead?
Comment has been collapsed.
In theory I think it's ok to pirate these games, in reality I usually either skip them or get them cheap via black market (or win them here, hehe). Basically, to my mind, Denuvo itself is unethical to the extent it's fine to do as we please with these games.
Comment has been collapsed.
Why is it? You say it but dont give a single reason.
Comment has been collapsed.
I plan on pirating some, but so far I already have many games on Steam and my main priorty is hunting for achievements/online progress. At this point it feels weird for me to play fully offline game.

IMPORTANT: Please, add (type) the tag "Denuvo" manually to all Denuvo games you visit in the Steam Store, there aren't still enough games tagged as "Denuvo" so the tag does not appear. I'm adding direct links to the games below.
Also you can join this group and you will get a notice in every game profile with Denuvo.
Please, don't post links to torrents or warez related sites.
I opened this thread to post news about this protection. There's a Previous thread with interesting info but was closed by the author.
