Counting only games in the modern era, when Denuvo started to charge monthly fees. And of course it might vary from game to game depending on sales, but…
I know that Square-Enix often removes it six months after release, and at a glance it looks like 2K often removes it roughly a year after release.
I’m curious if anyone has tracked this for other games so we can have a sense of which games are likely to have it removed when. I was eying a game when it suddenly occurred to me to think “wait, doesn’t this company usually remove Denuvo around now?”
It might even be useful to create a tracking document of games where Denuvo has been removed by the publisher, divided by publisher (and perhaps with a few other notes that might affect it, like Steam review, metacritic, or sales figures if we can find them) to help us get a sense of where things stand in that regard.
PC Gaming Wiki have a page that’s auto generated that tracks games using, and formally using Denuvo.
Neowin generally announce those that are being freed that week. They do not keep a running list though.
