What Denuvo Anti-Cheat is
Denuvo Anti-Cheat is a game-protection product for developers and publishers seeking to detect unfair play and disrupt cheat activity. Its Behavioral Anti-Cheat uses machine learning to examine player inputs in real time and identify patterns described as inhuman; it can also analyze raw inputs server-side. Kernel Anti-Cheat monitors low-level system activity to detect and block malicious tools that affect gameplay. Anti-Tamper protects game binaries and memory from client-side changes and reverse engineering. These layers can complement existing anti-cheat systems. Behavioral Anti-Cheat supports binary integration for PC and an SDK for consoles, with an optional PC SDK, and its server-side integration typically takes less than one day. Product pages specify Windows 10 and 11 support and compatibility with Proton and Steam Deck for compatible games. Kernel Anti-Cheat specifies Windows 10/11 and runs its driver only while the protected game is active. The product is paid, with pricing available on request, and a free demo is offered. Listed platforms include Linux and Windows.
