ARC Raiders adds Denuvo anti-cheat ahead of launch

ARC Raiders is adding Denuvo Anti-Cheat, according to a recent update on the game’s Steam page. That’s the main bit of news here, and it’s already drawing the usual reaction from players who avoid games that use Denuvo software.

The change appears in the game’s listed third-party software disclosures on Steam. ARC Raiders is Embark Studios’ upcoming extraction shooter, and while the store page update doesn’t change the game itself, it does confirm the anti-cheat tech the PC version plans to use.

According to the Steam page, ARC Raiders now lists Denuvo Anti-Cheat under its software notices. If you’re the kind of player who checks that section before installing anything, that’s the part worth knowing.

Beyond that, there isn’t much else attached to the update. No new feature rollout, no release date change, and no broader announcement tied to the listing, at least based on the source here. It’s simply a store page detail that confirms Denuvo anti-cheat is part of the plan.

ARC Raiders is currently in development for PC and consoles. It started life as a co-op PvE shooter before reappearing as an extraction shooter, which is the main bit of context longtime followers may want to keep in mind.
