Dragon Age: The Veilguard has been released without Denuvo protection, leading to its immediate availability on torrent sites. This allows players in regions where the game is not officially available to access it for free. The absence of traditional digital rights management may prompt discussions about intellectual property protection versus wider access for players.

The game "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" experienced a piracy incident shortly before its official release, with early access owners inadvertently leaking a complete version. Although the developers did not use Denuvo DRM, the game was protected by an internal Steam mechanism that was eventually bypassed by hackers. The online performance on Steam has been disappointing, with a peak of just over 2,196 concurrent players. The game has received a 92% positive rating on Steam and an average score of 86 on Metacritic. The official launch is set for December 9, 2024.

The majority of free digital game downloads are pirated versions lacking developer protections. EA FC 25 cannot be acquired through piracy as it remains secure due to the Denuvo protection system, which has not been breached since the game's release over a month ago. Denuvo is known for its robust security, making it time-consuming and resource-intensive to crack. Additionally, many games receive downloadable content post-launch, requiring ongoing efforts to bypass security. Pirating games is illegal and can result in serious legal consequences.

On October 7th at 3:00 PM, KONAMI's remake of Silent Hill 2 received a 96% positive rating on Steam, but the online player count peaked at just under 9,000 concurrent users since its early access release. The game lacks Denuvo anti-piracy protection, which may have contributed to its modest online engagement. The full release is scheduled for October 8th. Additionally, the game features a Russian voiceover from the Mechanics VoiceOver studio.

On November 20, GSC Game World will release S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, which will not include Denuvo anti-piracy protection and will be available on the GOG digital store without DRM. It is expected that pirated versions of the game will appear on torrent sites within hours of its release. The minimum system requirements for the game are Windows 10, Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 or AMD Radeon RX 580, 8 GB RAM, and 150 GB disk space (SSD recommended). The recommended requirements are Windows 10/11, Intel Core i7-9700K or AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super or AMD RX 5700 XT, 16 GB RAM, and 150 GB disk space (SSD required). Initial impressions from major publications and gaming expos are positive, highlighting the game's visual fidelity, mechanics, NPC intelligence, nonlinear quests, and expansive map, though some concerns were raised about a lengthy introduction and technical glitches. Journalists were not allowed to record gameplay footage, which has led to apprehensions about the unfiltered gameplay experience.

Gamers have been warned that "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl" may soon be classified as prohibited content. Developers have removed the Russian voiceover, banned sales in Russia and Belarus, and are fundraising for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, leading to the blocking of the game's websites by Roskomnadzor for spreading extremist information. A major piracy platform has advised users not to expect a repack of the game due to concerns it may be classified as extremist, which could result in legal consequences for distributing it. The government can track users who purchase or distribute prohibited content, making it easier to identify sources and downloaders. The situation poses legal risks for sellers, piracy services, streamers, reviewers, and guide authors. Potential bans on purchases could be interpreted as financing terrorism due to the game's association with an organization labeled as extremist in Russia. If illegal content is found in the game, the implications would be more severe.
