After Denuvo’s anti-tamper system, the company has now introduced SecureDLC, a system that deals with licensed DLCs and is intended to prevent tampering. To do this, it works with the Epic Games Store, the Microsoft Store and Steam. Read more about it below.
Denuvo’s anti-tamper system is now well known and quite controversial, having caused performance and stability issues in the past. But now there is a new system from the same manufacturer, the SecureDLC API, which can be used primarily in free-to-play games such as the new Diablo Immortal. Its task is not an anti-cheat system, but a precise control of the licensed and purchased DLCs, which in total can be a veritable gold mine for the manufacturer.

This eliminates a problem no one knows exactly how big it actually is. While many free-to-play titles generate high sales through cosmetic enhancements, in-game currencies and other purchasable items, it is difficult to estimate how much damage is actually caused by manipulating microtransactions. This does not apply to bots, which also cause damage through farms. However, it is conceivable that the manufacturers of the games will certainly realize cases of abuse and have now found a solution with Denuvos SecureDLC. SecureDLC is said to be in use by now, although no titles that use it are known.
