Denuvo offering its services via direct integration through Steamworks makes it easier for developers and publishers to prevent cheating in their competitive multiplayer games.

Denuvo Anti-Cheat incorporates advanced technology to secure competitive online gameplay. The technology helps game developers detect multiplayer cheats like aimbots, wallhacks, and modification of sensitive game logic or data to ensure fair gameplay. Developed by security experts and video game enthusiasts, Denuvo’s technology does not require modification of source code to integrate, has no negative impact on in-game performance, and its unobstructive detect-and-report methodology ensures the workflow of developers and gamers are never impacted.

Denuvo has a solid track record of protecting AAA titles for over a decade and collaborates with game developers of all sizes and offers cross-platform technology to combat cheating and piracy on PC, Consoles, iOS, and Android. Securing revenue sources beyond base game sales has become increasingly important for the publishers who rely on ad-revenues, in-game currency, downloadable content (DLC), and, more broadly, gamer’s long-term engagement with their games.
