Digital rights management company Denuvo will start offering anti-piracy software for Nintendo Switch games that are emulated on PCs.

Denuvo is part of Irdeto, which has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of MultiChoice since 1997.

“As with all other Denuvo solutions, the technology integrates seamlessly into the build toolchain with no impact on the gaming experience,” Irdeto stated.Notably, the announcement does not make mention of any official partnership with Nintendo, so it probably won’t be included in future games by default.

“Even though it is hard to pinpoint the exact number of players who emulate Switch games on PC, it is easy to find online forums dedicated to emulation and piracy,” Irdeto said.It is unclear how Denuvo’s software will impact players that own legitimate copies of Nintendo Switch games but want to be able to play them on their PC.a video showing how it managed to emulate Nintendo Switch games on Valve’s Steam Deck, which is effectively a handheld gaming PC.

Denuvo’s software features thousands of video games but is generally despised by the PC gaming community, which often regards it as overly-intrusive “middleware”.That means activating a legally-bought game could become difficult if it experiences downtime, an ISP is having connectivity issues, or a government decides to block its IP addresses.
