As mentioned recently in our Ensuring Fair Play article, we want to continue improving our anti-cheat solutions and more accurately detect foul play across the Rust Belt.

Following a positive rollout in THE FINALS, Denuvo Anti-Cheat will also come to ARC Raiders starting May 19th, initially to a limited player pool, with plans to expand after close monitoring.

We will not be using Denuvo's Digital Rights Management (DRM) service, and are working to ensure minimal impact on performance.

With Denuvo Anti-Cheat and Anybrain, we are working to strengthen ARC Raiders' systems even further. Keep sending us reports of any information that you believe might help us do so, it's highly appreciated.

Isn't this an online only game? What's the point of Denuvo in such situation?

This is an anti-cheat, separate from the DRM that we all know and hate. I'm not sure exactly how it works, but it seems similar to EAC where it's kernel level on windows but still works on Linux

Oh, you are right! I skipped the Denuvo anti cheat part.

Anti-cheat, not DRM. Two different products from the same company.

Yes, I stand corrected, haven't read the anti cheat part, my bad.
