Hacker Group Announces Successful Cracking of All D-Encrypted Games
Recently, the hacker group DenuvOwO announced that they have released cracking patches based on virtual machine managers, successfully breaching the last four Denuvo-protected games. These four games are Madden NFL 24, Madden NFL 25, EA SPORTS FC 24, and EA SPORTS FC 25, all of which now have corresponding virtual machine cracking patches.
The attack by the DenuvOwO organization against Denuvo encryption, while not yet finalized, has certainly made a resounding statement. This is the first time in history that all games protected by Denuvo have been made available to pirates in some form.
In just two months, these hackers have released over 115 virtual machine cracking patches for various games, with some games even receiving updated patches that support new game updates and DLC content.
Last year, it was widely believed that the number of uncracked D-encrypted games would continue to increase, potentially exceeding one hundred. Hackers might need several years to crack them. However, with the emergence of the MKDEV virtual machine manager and the DenuvOwO organization, this situation has been completely reversed.
Various signs indicate that DenuvOwO’s cracking activities have also alerted game publishers. Irdeto previously promised to take “countermeasures” against such cracking; however, six months later, they only managed to delay the crackers for a few hours. A specific example is Red Desert.
