Update includes controversial anti-tamper softwareA new update for Tango Gameworks' cyber-noir actioner Ghostwire: Tokyo has quietly added the controversial Denuvo anti-piracy technology to the title, over a year on from the game's initial release.
The addition, spotted by eagle-eyed players, was authenticated by DOSG (https://www.dsogaming.com/news/confirmed-bethesda-has-added-denuvo-to-ghostwire-tokyo/) after an experiment conducted by the website caused the title to flag authentication errors, revealing that Denuvo software was now implemented in the first-person adventure, which launched on PC in March 2022. The Denuvo software has been a source of irritance in the PC world, following frequent instances where the resource-hungry anti-tamper tech has, reportedly, caused performance issues in PC ports of popular titles.

Just recently, Capcom removed Denuvo (https://www.destructoid.com/resident-evil-village-denuvo-drm-removed-steam-pc-capcom/) from the PC port of Resident Evil Village ? a title that appeared to be hugely hindered (https://www.destructoid.com/resident-evil-village-pc-patch-drm-mod/) by the addition of the software from a performance standpoint. The addition of Denuvo to Ghostwire: Tokyo, a title published by Bethesda Softworks, comes just weeks after the publisher has come under fire for announcing that its upcoming vampire hunter, Redfall (https://www.destructoid.com/redfall-performance-mode-xbox-arrives-in-post-launch-update/), would also support the copy-protection software.
In addition to the implementation of Denuvo, the new Ghostwire: Tokyo update includes a selection of new missions, new combat abilities including "Charge Rush" and a new counter-attack skill, as well as new roguelite mode, which goes by the sinister title of The Spider's Thread. Ghostwire: Tokyo is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X.
