Capcom adds Denuvo to Street Fighter 6 three days before release

Street Fighter 6 has been available for pre-order on Steam for a while. However, yesterday, Capcom updated the game’s page, revealing that this new fighting game will be using the Denuvo anti-tamper tech.

Street Fighter 6 releases on June 1st. So, this basically means that Capcom revealed the presence of this anti-tamper tech only three days before its official release.

To be honest, it was almost a given that Capcom would be using Denuvo. After all, the Japanese company has been using Denuvo in pretty much all of its latest releases.

Now the good news here is that Capcom is one of the few publishers that has removed Denuvo from its older games. For instance, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 2 RemakeResident Evil 3 RemakeDevil May Cry 5 and Monster Hunter World no longer have it.

In theory, Denuvo will not have any performance impact on Street Fighter 6.

Lastly, you can go ahead and download its PC Benchmark Tool in order to see whether your PC is capable of running it!

    1. Well, you do get a healthy break from woke garbage of you skip this game. Woke is like radiation, it’s somewhat safe to get a really small dose of it, but a lot of radiation/woke (like SF6/MK11) will be unhealthy to consume, even in quick doses. 😉

  1. Haha, what did you think was gonna happen. It doesn’t matter anyways, they are still going to buy it. Anyone that was gonna buy this game knows the drill. They’ll tell themselves nonsense like: it’s to protect the first sale window. Or, they’ll remove it eventually. Whatever it takes to help the fool part with his own money. Because street fighter 56 is so much different from street fighter 55 or 54.

  2. Why are they still using denuvo since it always gets cracked anyways, sometimes in just the first week of release? Is it a publisher requirement? And for what? Just hope that it won’t get cracked? I mean..come on..they can’t be that clueless..

    1. They had 2 closed beta tests and one open beta, and Capcom – much like other game companies – have people have test for bugs. I think it’s safe to say that they have and will continue to do so as the game lives on.

  3. Phil Fish said “Japanese games just suck“. He argued Japanese games have drawn out tutorials and pop-up screens because Japanese designers have no idea how to integrate a progressive way of learning a game into the gameplay. They don’t understand the concept of learn-as-you-play.

    SF6 is a great example of this. When you begin SF6, you are bombarded with either hour long tutorials, or you are bombarded with seemingly endless instructional pop-up windows in the world mode. None of these are interwoven into the gameplay, but completely separate from the game itself.

    SF6 got 8/10 and 9/10 scores, because the reviewers who reviewed the game are fighting game lovers. Show SF6 to a normal person and they would call it boring trash.

  4. SF6 has
    -Denuvo
    -Battle Pass
    -DLC
    etc

    There’s this guy called YongYea on Youtube who tends to call out these practices. But when this happens to a Japanese game, this weeb is silent about it.

    1. YongYea is one of the most annoying fcking fgts ever on JewTube, all he does is say “sMaSh tHaT lIkE bUtToN!!!” And his content themselves are a big POS.

    2. They’ll butcher MGS3 with Delta and he’ll make a surprised face thumbnail on Youtube saying it’s still good.

    1. Alpha 3 IMO was the best Street Fighter in terms of having fun with exploiting the game’s broken combo systems, while Street Fighter 3: Third Strike was the best in terms of a competitive fighting game. Capcom peaked with Third Strike and I don’t think they’ll ever be able to top it. While 4 was a pretty decent release, my hype pretty much died around then (being burnt out on fighters didn’t help either). SF5 made me hate what the franchise has become, and while 6 looks to be an improvement over 5 in a few regards, it looks to be backwards in others and just very, very outdated overall.

        1. Do you have reading comprehension issues? I said 6 does some things better than 5, and some things worse than 5. I didn’t say 6 is better than 5 outright. It’s not possible to make that conclusion on a game that isn’t out yet.

    2. Nah, play Street Fighter Zero 3 Double Upper. That’s how to play Street Fighter Alpha 3 (yes, I know the issues with double upper…ignore’em, they’re minor(ish.)

    3. SF Alpha 3 is awesome. I really wish they ported Alpha 3 Max to modern systems since it’s the most complete version.

  5. Phil Fish said “Japanese games just suck“. He argued Japanese games have drawn out tutorials and pop-up screens because Japanese designers have no idea how to integrate a progressive way of learning a game into the gameplay. They don’t understand the concept of learn-as-you-play.

  6. They prove stupid.
    SF6 is a game where online is decisive.
    Playing with it, it becomes the classic: appetite comes with eating.
    Why introduce trouble where piracy could make people buy?
    Maybe out of vice, or do they think that single player has increased…?

    1. Don’t underestimate the stupidity of woke people, they support everything that is considered stupid by intelligent people

      1. How the hell is it woke? If anything the female characters design is aggravating ‘woke’ people.

        1. Yeah, I’d recommend blocking him. From what I know, Street Fighter 6 isn’t really that woke.

        2. Manon, Marisa, Eternity
          Whole game looks ugly, I though characters look awfulin4 and they’ve only gotten worse.

          How do you even manage that?

      2. saw a black dude with purple hair in the trailer. That is woke as hell man. And in World Tour mode, the default character is an african guy! LMAO.

    1. I saw the pics and vids of the wokeness added, hard pass for me and I’ve been Street Fightering non-stop since World Warrior was released in the arcades… My custom arcade stick will never forgive me if I use it to play SF6 or MK11 nor MK1 (the reboot.)

        1. That’s because they don’t know the meaning …. Woke = Aware of the corruptness of the System and by definition the entire Alt Right are Woke even if they don’t realize it yet

          The opposite of Woke = Sheeple, asleep and unaware

          Contrary to popular fantasy the word Woke and it’s meaning have been around for almost 100 years

    2. Come to think of it, I added the demo to my steam account, don’t worry, I never actually launched it. I need to figure out how to unlink it from my account. I just don’t want SF6 connected to me in any way what-so-ever.

  7. I’ll never understand the appeal of buying fighting games. Just buy the last version for $5 and button mash away

    1. Exactly! Fighting games are fun with friends and these newer releases have added other features and modes but the core is still the PvP/ PvE fighting.

      1. The added features is why I hate them. They have 50 different bars now. I miss the good ole days when it’s just, “round 1 fight”. You punch, kick, block dodge & combo. Now it has 50 different bars.

    2. I say the same thing with war games. I can never tell the event in those games. Everytime I try to play battlefield I’m like, “what’s happening here?”. So much going on on screen

  8. “In theory, Denuvo will not have any performance impact on Street Fighter 6.”

    Indeed “in theory”. In reality we all know it does.

    1. I don’t know why people keep harping on the performance hit when I’m the Denuvo conversation space because that is the lowest of your worries when it comes to Denuvo. But they keep steering the conversation into the worst argument possible. That is NOT the main issue with DRMs.

      1. Because performance hit the issue the average player is more likely to care about, so it’s the one more likely to get more people to oppose it. Even then many ignore it because it’s not a big enough problem for them, and this is something apparent in the gameplay itself. You won’t reach them talking about ownership, telemetry, etc.

        1. Well you’re not reaching them talking about performance hit either because there are more deniers than believers.

  9. Japanese game, full of politically loaded garbage, and dumped the most cancerous DRM on it. Must be a Capcom or SquareEnix game.

    See you in 3 weeks after they remove it due to poor sales regardless.

    Just look at that header image. Do you “really” think this thing is going to sell? XD

    1. Still waiting for one of you parrots to explain this… you guys can’t just keep saying stupid bullshit yet offer no explanation…

  10. There ought to be a law against this sort of thing. Publishers are selling pre-orders under false pretences because the product received is not what they ordered. The consumer ordered a product advertised on a store front as not having Denuvo. It’s bait and switch tactics, misrepresentation, etc.

    If publishers are going to announce that the product has been altered this way just a couple of days prior to release then they should be legally obliged to automatically refund all pre-orders.

    Yes, another solution is of course for the consumer to not pre-order games but the fact is plenty of them will do so regardless.

    1. This wouldn’t work for a few reasons:

      1. Denuvo doesn’t change the content or design of a game. Therefore it doesn’t fall under false advertisment;

      2. Users can clearly and easily cancel a preorder at anytime prior to a game’s release for any reason. So there’s no need for legal protection to cover their bottoms;

      3. Companies are allowed to use any legal means in order to protect their business, which Denuvo (or DRM in general) definitely falls under;

      4. The EULAs people blindly agree to absolutely cover these companies’ behinds with a line that usually goes like, ‘We reserve the right to update, change or terminate the Product for any reason at any given time without notice or the User’s [YOU] permission.’

      1. I was already aware of such factors. My comment was referring to what should ideally be the case regardless of the existing status quo.

      2. Yup …. You look at a software license and all you are guaranteed to get is something with 1’s and 0’s in it and nothing else ….. and it’s been that way for over 30 years …..

  11. “Now the good news here is that Capcom is one of the few publishers that has removed Denuvo from its older games.”

    You do realize that this game will have constant dlc updates which basically means that Capcom will never remove Denuvo from it.

    1. Yeah, that’s what gets me the most. Constantly being treated like a thief if you buy this stuff. Why can’t no one see/understand this factor.

    1. Outside of Luke flossing and Ken’s cryptocurrency incident in the prologue, there’s hardly any woke stuff in 6. Grow up.

  12. At least this means we get another hilarious release notes rant from that one person who gets through Denuvo.

  13. Played the open beta, had an absolute BLAST using Juri.

    Have to wait a month or two to get the game though, mainly because I’ll be going to this year’s CEO to play Smash Ultimate this month and my mom spent quite a lot to get me there. In the meantime I’ll stick to Ultra 4 and Alpha 3/MAX.

  14. Just killed me ever buying it as I wont allow any DRM/AntiCheat software on my systems due to security concerns. It also helps that I don’t run a Supported OS anyhow as I prefer OpenBSD over anything else out there as I need to get work done.
