Following Bandai Namco’s, Square Enix’s, Crytek’s and 2K Games’ example, Warner Bros has removed Denuvo from Injustice 2. Injustice 2 came out on PC in 2017, so it took Warner Bros and NetherRealm Studios almost four years in order to remove it.
My guess is that the companies removed Denuvo due to the compatibility issues that currently affect Intel’s new Alder Lake CPUs. I mean, it doesn’t make any sense at all to remove this DRM from a four-year-old game.
According to a deleted tweet, Warner Bros may also remove Denuvo from Mortal Kombat XI. Mortal Kombat 11 came out in 2019, so at least that makes more sense.
But anyway, it is good that more and more publishers are removing Denuvo from their games. While in most cases Denuvo only affects the initial loading times, there are occasions in which it brings a performance hit. Tekken 7 was a great example of it, as was Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Stay tuned for more!

Bravo DENUVO, you protected a game that was cracked years ago. You dumb MuthaFuqas!
Brother, I just never understood that type of thinking or the burning desire to implement that such draconian practices & the people who knowingly support/purchase/reward things that are against their best interest. They will defend it to death. There is a poster on the steam God Of War Forum asking some to replace their own launcher. ????? This fool wants more launchers. That’s how uneducated people are. So much that they been for more prison as a solution to a non-existent problem.
Warner Brothers has sent in the Parasite Removal Team but it took them a long, long time to do it.
It was cracked long ago anyways.
Still, it was responsible for important stutters when you play with certain characters with legit and pirated copies
Stutters and FPS drops are gone scientist’s say…thou they are investigating the reason for that as they cannot figure out why that is,One scientist said…”Maybe we will never know the mysteries that the universe present’s us with”
They had this in a recent Humble bundle with Soulcalibur 6, Killer Instinct 2014, etc. I chose to give the entire publisher split to Top Hats and Champagne aka developer of upcoming point & click adventure game, Born Punk.
