Is there any reason why there don’t seem to be any releases of Persona 5 for the PC? Anything I find is either Nintendo Switch or PS3 packaged alongside emulators. Does it really come down to the dramatic Denuvo cracker not bothering to have a go at this one?

    There is.

    Persona 5 Royal has Denuvo Anti Cheat. A immensely hard anti cheat to crack.

    The only public cracker that is able to crack Denuvo, refuses to crack Anime-games. Thus it’ll take a long while before it gets cracked.

      Aha. There’s the context. Thank you.

      I took a long break from pirating, but I feel like 10 years ago Denuvo meant nothing and releases were still cracked right away. Any ideas as to what changed that it all comes down to one megalomaniac?

      That and Persona 5 has very few differences on Switch Vs PC. Framerate is the main one, but it isn’t the kind of game where framerate makes a real difference.

        Runs perfectly (100+FPS always) on my five year old computer, but my partner’s eight year old machine had problems. Ya need more than 4c/4t I guess. New machine with 8c/16t for them and zero issues with the same video card.

        Denuvo probably limits it from its full potential, but the game still runs really well, even on older hardware. Granted, P5R isn’t a brand new title but a port of an older one so that prob helps

    it probably is

    I haven’t seen one for Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective either and that also has Denuvo, so I have to play the switch version in Ryujinx instead

    For what it’s worth I had a good experience emulating the switch version on steam deck. And that’s not exactly top of the line hardware
