In a move that has ruffled feathers within the gaming community, Ubisoft's highly-anticipated title, Assassin's Creed Mirage, incorporated the contentious Denuvo anti-piracy software mere hours before its global launch.

The Backstory

On October 4th, just a day prior to the official release of Assassin's Creed Mirage on October 5th, a post surfaced on Reddit highlighting the sudden addition of the Denuvo anti-piracy feature in the game. This update, dubbed patch 1.0.2, functioned as the day one patch for Assassin's Creed Mirage across all platforms.

It's critical to acknowledge that the integration of Denuvo into Assassin's Creed Mirage was not a complete surprise. Ubisoft had, in fact, communicated its intention to utilize Denuvo for this game as early as July of this year.
