Saber Interactive confirms a DRM-free launch for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, eliminating concerns about performance-impacting digital rights management software. This decision follows player feedback regarding the negative effects DRM can have on gameplay.
Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2: A DRM-Free Experience
No Microtransactions, Just Cosmetics
In a recent FAQ, Saber Interactive clarified that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, launching September 9th, will be free of DRM like Denuvo. While DRM aims to curb piracy, it's often criticized for impacting game performance. Previous examples, such as Capcom's Enigma DRM in Monster Hunter Rise, highlight potential compatibility and modding issues.
Although DRM is absent, the PC version will utilize Easy Anti-Cheat software. While generally effective, Easy Anti-Cheat has faced scrutiny, notably in the Apex Legends community following a hacking incident.
Currently, official mod support is not planned. However, the game boasts a PvP arena, horde mode, and a comprehensive photo mode. Saber Interactive assures players that all core gameplay remains free of microtransactions; any paid content will be strictly cosmetic.
