Square Enix has just released Deus Ex Mankind Divided on GOG. Like all GOG releases, this version does not feature any DRM. As such, the game is also not plagued by the controversial Denuvo anti-tamper tech.
Unfortunately, Square Enix has not removed Denuvo from the Steam version. Furthermore, the publisher has not commented on whether it plans to push a future patch that will remove it. So yeah, if you own the Steam version, you are out of luck (at least for now).
In Deus Ex Mankind Divided, players again assume the role of Adam Jensen. Jensen will now have to operate in a world that has grown to despise his kind. Armed with a new arsenal of state-of-the-art weapons and augmentations, he must choose the right approach, along with who to trust, in order to unravel a vast worldwide conspiracy.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided uses the Dawn Engine and uses both the DX11 and the DX12 APIs. From what we’ve discovered, the game runs significantly faster under DX11 on both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs.

Better late than never i guess, nice.
However its sad that it was rushed a game both on cutting of chapters and on the technical aspect (specific settings being unoptimized)
How is it wrong ? Its DRM-Free, hence it does not include Denuvo. He just specifies it.
Also upvoting yourself, really ?
He thinks he deserves a praise for his “witty” comment.
Did SquareEnix recently get silently taken over by their own ethics dept.?
Some very unSquareEnix things happening over at……SquareEnix. Like…. removing s**tty DRM. This is very unSquareEnix indeed.
You have a point there. Or is just them trying to make money off products that no one wants ANYMORE. Because the steam versions of these games are still infested with DRM filth.
That makes no sense, Denuvo is still in MOST their titles on Steam and it will stay that way. Square Enix and Denuvo have a partnership because square was one of their early adopters. Square has dumped alot of money into Denuvo. This is just them trying to pull more cash out of an already franchise and gain some good will.
yeah very unsquare things likes how the ethics department…no wait this is not what you are referring to, carry on.
yeah too bad it sucks fat dongs
The franchise is dead so why not?
did you guys now that fear on gog still has drm in it?
Dark times…i guess GOG is crap now.
Good to know
securom
securom is still in the game though.
I paid full price for this game when it came out on steam, let that sink in.
I’m so sorry…
Yes every pirate has been hurt some way shape or form. We weren’t always Monster. Most of us were loyal E3 exciters and then GAAS, Denuvo and Epic exclusives showed up and then we had enough. Put away award wallets and started sailing the high seas.
You bought a game?!
And of all games, THIS GAME?!?!
Wtf
yes i actually used to buy every single triple a game that came out believe it or not.
and not just triple a games, any game that was popular on the internet or school.
Morale on the ship rose 😉
Tbh newest version doesn’t have too much better performance it’s still wacky.
No Denuvo = Less stutters, lower loading times, better low and avg framerates.
Why put up the trailer that was uploaded on a “Playstation” channel? We surely wouldnt want to give them the revenue!
If only they would have not cut the game off randomly and instead released a full game.
I’d love to see benchmarks for this.
Not what I was expecting. I was looking hoping for Metro Exodus, when I woke up this morning for heaven sakes. Damn you Deep Silver… I have both Deus Ex’s on Steam, I just could not seem to enjoy any of them. Can somebody tell me, is there any way to play these games so they are actually fun and not a chore. I spent more time into Mankind divided than the first game but it just felt so boring to me, I really have it a change.
With that said, I really wish GoG would announce that these games are coming in advance. They did it for The Surge 2, they had the game on alert for a month prior. Its just that I hate buying a game somewhere else knowing that it’s coming to GoG the next week. The last thing I wanna do is buy Metro Exodus (which I won’t) on Steam and then it shows up on GoG the next week. Kinda grinds my gears when they do that.
I’ve grown to hate Deep Silver with a passion trust me.
the dlc is like what 10 hours long and its not cracked so they are not putting it on gog till its cracked.
Seems Human Revolution is also on GoG as well. Nice.
I also get a kick out of the headline “….does not feature Denuvo” Since when has Denuvo been a feature?
Well, how about “Deus Ex Mankind Divided is available on GOG, is DRM-free and is not infected with Denuvo” ?
I think that is fairly more accurate. Today’s DRM, is tomorrow’s malware.
Yes, gaming has hit it’s Ragnarok so to speak. The Twilight of proper gaming is upon us. The next decade will be pure garbage. So I’m just building my DRM-FREE Library as I get ready to move off grid and away from it all.
The same here. I don’t think i’m going to follow the next gen, man… too much high quality & expansive nonsense garbage.
every single generation is like this. you got 90% of releases being garbage and the odd few high quality games. this will be no different as it was before as it is moving forward. whatever. just pick and choose where to put your money. don’t need 8000garbage games like some people. my steam account is 16years old and i only have 200games on it. if a game flat out sucks i even remove it. just support and play whats worth playing
True, but man too much woke stuff.
Woke & Fueled By GAAS. ?
Not even remotely true.

Building a DRM library?
Meant to type DRM-FREE ? what moron would be proud to build a library chock full of DRM? Oooops, I spoke too soon… The Steam Wjores would. ?
Does anyone know if this gets around that one use dlc business?
Awesome. Might actually give it a try now.
Best Version <3.
If its on GOG , it can’t have Denuvo.
Yes
When you screw up your game so bad, that it can’t even be sold for $5 on a Steam sale. It’s the only reason SE would even think of putting these on GoG, because they can hardly even give it away.
They never cared for Human Revolution when they acquired Eidos, so they left it alone. Then, after that did well, they go stick their greedy paws all over Mankind Divided. (“Augment” Your Pre-Order anyone?).
I just hope that they come to care so little for it at some point, they will sell it off to someone who will at least to it some justice.
This franchise does not belong in their hands. Or any franchise for that matter. This company is absolute garbage.
The didn’t screw up the game, the screwed up the launch and features. I am not disagreeing with you. The company ruined this games legacy. The game is still very worth playing.
Right. Never mind that they chopped 1/3 of the game out, and it was hilariously obvious in how abruptly it ended. Let’s just pretend that didn’t happen.
Oh, they totally sucked. Just a good game and then one of the most anti-climatic endings
They did screw up the game. All the extra-nonsense they forced the devs to add like that weird cyberspace mode and the compartmentalization of features into “essential” and “premium” prevented a more fully featured game that just works. They changed goals during development and forced the team to re-order content. MD is a MESS and publisher meddling played a huge role. The other factor is that Eidos Montreal clearly can’t meet deadlines so by forcing the deadline the game was doomed, which is also a publisher decision. HR did well financially despite taking umpteen years in development. MD could have been the same but Square thought they could just force Eidos to be done faster. Turns out that’s not possible and you just release an unfinished mess of a game.
4 years too late and the game is still only halfway complete.
i did the same – performance is even better!
Now the Assassins Creed Origins and Odyssey .. need to be ridden of it so i can benchmark the performance.
To say i paid like $8 for it a year earlier… now it’s at $1.08 on GoG; talk about false gradual devaluation.
