Good news for PC gamers! Saber Interactive has officially confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 will launch DRM-free. Let's dive into the details of this announcement and what else awaits players.
In a recent FAQ, Saber Interactive revealed their plans for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, confirming the absence of DRM software like Denuvo. This decision is a welcome one for many players concerned about potential performance impacts associated with DRM. Past incidents, such as Capcom's use of Enigma DRM in Monster Hunter Rise, highlighted the potential drawbacks, including compatibility issues and limitations on modding.
While DRM is absent, the PC version will utilize Easy Anti-Cheat software. This anti-cheat solution has faced scrutiny in the past, notably in relation to an Apex Legends hacking incident.
The developers have also addressed the topic of modding, stating that there are currently no plans for official mod support. This might be disappointing for some, but the game still offers a wealth of features, including a PvP arena, horde mode, and a comprehensive photo mode. Importantly, Saber Interactive assures players that all gameplay content is included in the base game, with any microtransactions strictly limited to cosmetic items and no paid DLC planned.
