Stellar Blade has recently fallen prey to the notorious cracker known as ‘voices38,’ who successfully bypassed its Denuvo anti-tamper technology. Released by Sony on PC in June 2025, the game took nearly a year to be cracked. Interestingly, in contrast to the typical practices of other publishers, Sony has yet to remove the game from circulation.
Understanding the Bypass
While there was a HYPERVISOR Bypass available for Stellar Blade, it comes with significant drawbacks. Utilizing this method requires users to disable certain security features in Windows, which many consider a risky move, regardless of the desire to access the game. In contrast, the voices38 crack offers a more straightforward solution that does not necessitate any alterations to the operating system.
It is important to note that this crack does not eliminate Denuvo entirely; instead, it bypasses its protections. All previous Denuvo cracks, including those from both EMPRESS and voices38, have functioned similarly, allowing Denuvo to operate in the background. Therefore, comparing the cracked and non-cracked versions would yield little meaningful insight.
The primary concern surrounding these cracks is their safety. The process is akin to traditional cracking methods: users simply place the crack file in the game folder, avoiding any interference with their operating system.
As a reminder, we will not be sharing any links to the crack. Comments containing download links will be removed to maintain compliance. However, a simple search online should lead you to the cracked version if you seek it out. The ongoing developments in the cracking scene, particularly with voices38’s achievements against Denuvo, remain a captivating topic of discussion.
Currently, it appears that legitimate owners of Stellar Blade are the ones facing penalties, while pirates gain access to the game without hindrance. This raises questions about the efficacy of Denuvo, prompting speculation that Sony may eventually follow the lead of other publishers by removing it through a future update.
For example, Capcom has taken steps to eliminate Denuvo from several of its PC titles. Notably, in November 2025, they removed it from Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, and other titles such as Monster Hunter Rise, Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, and Resident Evil Village are now free of Denuvo. Similarly, the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes, along with Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and Resident Evil 4 Remake, have also seen Denuvo removed.
Square Enix has followed suit, removing Denuvo from games like DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake and Just Cause 3, along with several others, including The Diofield Chronicle and Final Fantasy 16. Other companies have also joined the trend, with KRAFTON and NEOWIZ removing Denuvo from their titles, and Gearbox doing the same for Homeworld 3. Bethesda has also eliminated Denuvo from games like Wolfenstein Youngblood and Doom Eternal, while Bandai Namco and Warner Bros have followed with their respective titles.
As the landscape of game publishing continues to evolve, the decisions made by companies regarding Denuvo will be closely watched by both consumers and industry insiders alike.
