If you’re curious whether System Shock has Dunovo or DRM protection, then you’re in the right place. Let’s go through it together.

For those who haven’t heard, Dunuvo is an anti-tamper software used to prevent piracy and in-game cheating. Since its introduction, Denuvo has been a controversial feature in games. While it is obviously in the best interests of game developers, it also has a fair share of controversy because of its alleged impact on the game’s performance.

Indeed, there have been instances of PC games having Denovo removed post-launch after widespread performance issues like stuttering. This was the case for Resident Evil Village which dramatically improved the game’s performance. So, with the promise of a potentially smoother gaming experience without Denuvo, gamers are understandably keen to know whether Denovo, or any type of DRM protection is expected with System Shock.

Does System Shock have Denuvo or DRM?

It’s difficult to tell for certain whether a game has Denuvo or DRM since its software is hidden deep inside the game files. If you’re playing System Shock on PC, we can suspect that System Shock does not have Denuvo or DRM now its release day is finally here.

How to tell if System Shock has Denuvo or DRM?

You can usually tell whether a game has Denuvo or DRM based on its file size. As we saw with the Jedi Survivor Denuvo situation, the inflated file size accurately allowed gamers to predict that the game did indeed have Denuvo or DRM.
