- MachineGames might have secretly added Denuvo in the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
- The inclusion of Denuvo was spotted in a back-end update made in the game’s latest build.
- The official Steam update does not mention a disclaimer about Denuvo so far, so take it with a grain of salt.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a first-person single-player adventure title featuring an original narrative that draws from the film series. So, it is no surprise that a plethora of Xbox gamers—and Indiana Jones fans in general—are stoked for the game. However, a new update might already have dampened this growing excitement after MachineGames introduced something controversial
A new back-end addition in the game’s build suggests that the devs have introduced the controversial Denuvo anti-cheat in the game.
Why it matters: Fans are upset because the inclusion of Denuvo might further ruin the performance of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.
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.
It is worth noting that the Steam page for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle does not show the disclaimer for Denuvo at the time of writing. However, that might change in the near future.
All in all, do take this back-end update with a grain of salt until the addition of Denuvo is officially confirmed through Steam. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is set to come out on December 9th, 2024, for Xbox Series X|S consoles and PC.
