Pragmata defies my expectations by selling 2.5 million copies in just 3 months as Capcom celebrates a very successful start to 2026

Capcom's Q1 2026 financial report shows strong performance, with Pragmata selling over 2.5 million copies since its launch. The Resident Evil franchise remains popular, with Resident Evil Requiem achieving over 8 million copies sold, up from 6 million in March. Capcom reports a 54.7% year-on-year increase in net sales and a 66.9% rise in operating profits. This contrasts with last year's poor performance of Monster Hunter Wilds, which sold fewer copies than other titles. Capcom is positioned to meet its full-year earnings forecast.

If you’re part of the 92% of Diablo 4 players who haven’t completed Lord of Hatred: lock in

Diablo 4's campaign has received positive feedback, particularly for the Lord of Hatred, which serves as an intense conclusion to the Mephisto saga. Despite this, only 8.1% of players have completed the campaign, influenced by its price and player engagement on different platforms. Player engagement on Steam increased from 5,500 to a peak of 64,000, currently around 44,000. The campaign features strong narrative elements and visual storytelling, particularly highlighting the character of Lilith, who receives more focus than in the base game. The transformation of Skovos and the emotional depth of the story are emphasized as compelling reasons for players to complete the campaign.

Stellar Blade is the latest Denuvo game that has been cracked

Stellar Blade was cracked by the cracker known as ‘voices38,’ bypassing its Denuvo anti-tamper technology nearly a year after its release by Sony on PC in June 2025. Unlike typical practices, Sony has not removed the game from circulation. The voices38 crack bypasses Denuvo protections without altering the operating system, unlike the HYPERVISOR Bypass, which requires disabling certain Windows security features. Previous Denuvo cracks have allowed the technology to operate in the background. Legitimate owners of Stellar Blade face penalties while pirates access the game freely, raising questions about Denuvo's effectiveness. Other publishers, including Capcom, Square Enix, KRAFTON, NEOWIZ, Gearbox, Bethesda, Bandai Namco, and Warner Bros, have removed Denuvo from several of their titles.

Why are PC developers removing Denuvo from their games?

Denuvo is a widely recognized digital rights management (DRM) solution used by major publishers like Square Enix, Sega, and EA to prevent unauthorized copying and modification of games. A study indicated that a game could lose up to 20% of revenue if cracked within its first week. Concerns about Denuvo's impact on game performance have been raised, with reports suggesting that games without it may perform better. Issues with titles like Resident Evil Village and Tekken 7 were attributed to improper implementation of additional protection measures. Tekken 7 eventually removed Denuvo, while Resident Evil Village retained it until April 2023. Amplitude Studios launched its game Humankind without Denuvo due to performance issues found during beta testing. Michał Kiciński, CEO of GOG, argued that DRM complicates the experience for legitimate customers and fails to effectively prevent piracy. Saber Interactive decided not to use Denuvo for Space Marine 2, highlighting the nuanced nature of the anti-DRM movement. Denuvo costs around ,000 per month plus fees for each game activation, making its financial justification less compelling as sales decline post-launch. Square Enix has removed Denuvo from titles like Dragon Quest 1 & 2 Remake and Final Fantasy 16 within six months of release, while Capcom has retained it for longer periods. The decision to remove or avoid Denuvo is influenced by performance issues, financial implications, and operational efficiency considerations.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Drops Enigma DRM After Just 28 Days

Capcom replaced Denuvo DRM with Enigma for the 2023 remake of Resident Evil 4 on Steam, leading to significant performance issues reported by players. YouTuber ItalicMaze compared the game's performance with and without Enigma, revealing a decline in frame rates, particularly during intense gameplay. Digital Foundry confirmed an approximate 20-percent decrease in performance. In response to the backlash, Capcom removed the Enigma DRM on March 3, 28 days after the update, as noted in the SteamDB changelog. This incident follows a similar situation with Resident Evil Village in 2021, where pirated versions outperformed the official release due to the absence of DRM, leading Capcom to remove Denuvo from that game in April 2023 without replacement.
