Securing console games from hackers and cheaters
Since the wide-spread lockdowns, everyone’s been playing a lot of video games. Industry leaders like Steam are seeing unprecedented increases in the number of people turning on their consoles. There are more than two billion gamers worldwide, and unfortunately, there are those who will try to ruin a game through cheating.
In fact, Steam set a new 2021 milestone by crossing 25 million concurrent users for the first time. The concurrent user count has been edging ever higher since lockdowns became widespread in March and April, outdoing the record over and over for several weeks.

With Denuvo Anti-Cheat SDK, you can keep your virtual economy safe by ensuring offline progress reported by the game clients is secure.
