Homeworld 3 ditches controversial Denuvo, the latest in a line of PC games to drop the DRM

Homeworld 3 has removed Denuvo DRM protection, which has been positively received by the gaming community. This change was noted by Neowin, highlighting a reduction in the game's executable file size from around 400MB due to the removal of Denuvo, and the absence of Denuvo on its Steam page. The game, developed by Blackbird Interactive and published by Gearbox, was released in May 2024 and received a mixed reception, especially regarding its storyline. The removal of Denuvo is part of a trend, as other games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Resident Evil Village, PayDay 3, Doom Eternal, and Dragon Age: The Veilguard have also eliminated Denuvo. This decision is often made after a game's initial sales phase to mitigate piracy risks. Homeworld 3's removal of Denuvo is seen as a strategic move to improve its reputation ahead of a significant update scheduled for November.

Gearbox has removed Denuvo from Homeworld 3

Gearbox has removed the Denuvo anti-tamper technology from Homeworld 3, which was launched on PC in May 2024, about five to six months after its release. Despite this removal, the game has a "Mostly Negative" rating on Steam, with players praising the graphics but expressing dissatisfaction with other aspects. The addition of Denuvo was a last-minute decision that frustrated many players. Other publishers, including KRAFTON and NEOWIZ, have also removed Denuvo from their titles. Notable games that have shed Denuvo include Wolfenstein Youngblood, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Doom Eternal, Mortal Kombat 11, Tekken 7, and various titles from Square Enix such as The Diofield Chronicle and Forspoken. Homeworld 3 peaked at 9,000 concurrent players but has recently seen a decline to only 60 active players in the last 24 hours.
