Fans of the franchise may have some concerns about the controversial Denuvo that will be included in the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster on PC. The four core games in the Dead Rising franchise, together with their spin-offs and lesser-known films, have amassed a sizable fan base. Fans may have been thrilled by the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, but they might not be thrilled to learn that Denuvo will be there.

Many fans have been searching through all of the news that is available regarding Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, since the trailers and details for the game have verified that it will be released on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5. Even though the new mechanisms and benefits seem to be popular with many players, Denuvo's inclusion may be making some PC players second-guess themselves.

According to the official Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster Steam page, the game will support the third-party DRM Denuvo. Although the safety Denuvo offers has made developers think highly of the software, recent events involving other games that make use of the technology have some worried about whether the security measures it offers restrict players' access and ownership in the event that Denuvo's servers encounter problems. It won't be long before we learn how the Denuvo will impact Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster's playability after the game launches on September 19, 2024. Other players have shared their bad experiences with other games that employ the security mechanism, such as lagging and delay.

Several Capcom titles that have previously made use of Denuvo include Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil Village

One such case, unrelated to Capcom, occurred when Persona 5 Royal became unplayable in the early part of May. Many fans reacted negatively, accusing Denuvo's anti-piracy software of causing the title's inability to be played, despite Denuvo's assurance that there were no server outages at the time. Even while there were short-term solutions, such starting the game without internet connectivity, many players didn't think this was a good enough option. Some game features are restricted when playing offline, which may annoy players who want to get the most out of their games.

New Denuvo technology, though, might be on the horizon, according to earlier sources. Although it's unclear how it differs from the current program, some fans are hoping for less issues than the previous version. Of course, server-side problems also need to be fixed first. Although it's unclear if Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will make use of the latest or older Denuvo technology, some players are worried about how it might impact their gameplay. By the time the game comes out, hopefully, everything will work smoothly and people won't turn on Capcom and Dead Rising.
