Dead Island 2 Denuvo DRM protection is not something many players want in the game. Denuvo is an anti-piracy solution that makes it more difficult for users to crack video games, extending the amount of time that it can only be played by buying it at full price. However, it can also lead to performance problems, longer load times, and frame rate drops. Here’s what we know so far about Dead Island 2 DRM.
Will Dead Island 2 have Denuvo?
It’s unclear if Dead Island 2 has Denuvo protection as an Epic Games Store exclusive.
We will need to wait until the game’s release on April 21 to see whether this DRM has been applied or not by examining its files. If this concerns you, we recommend that you wait until it’s been confirmed whether the game has Denuvo protection at launch first before purchasing and downloading it on PC.
We would have learned more information about Dead Island 2 Denuvo DRM if it were coming to Steam, but the EGS exclusivity will likely last for six months to a year. Though it won’t be available on Steam for a while, there is a way to put Dead Island 2 on a Steam Deck if you’re willing to run the Epic Game Store application through an operating system like Windows on the handheld.
