Like many recent Capcom games published on PC, Resident Evil Village included everybody's favourite anti-piracy software Denuvo when it launched back in May 2021. Also like many recent Capcom games published on PC, the DRM has quietly been removed.
As chronicled by VGC, Denuvo's removal from Village was initially reported by the website Dark Side of Gaming, then verified by SteamDB, which tracked a new change to the game stating "Removed 3rd-Party DRM – Denuvo Anti-tamper, 5 different PC within a day machine activation limit."
