A new back-end update on SteamDB for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle suggests that Denuvo has been added a few days before launch. MachineGames has introduced the anti-cheat without announcing it publicly beforehand.

Denuvo’s sudden addition has upset many players, as most of the community thinks it will ruin the performance of the resource-intensive entry. This move came to light when netizens on the forums were already furious over the game’s high-end system requirements.
