The Steam page now lists Denuvo for Crimson Desert

The report that Will Powers had ruled out Denuvo for the sake of performance and trust turned out to be inaccurate. On the podcast, the clarification says, he answered that he did not know what protection the game would use.

Pearl Abyss later updated the Crimson Desert page on Steam, and it now says the game uses Denuvo. Some buyers accused the studio of mentioning the protection only shortly before release.

That is a change in the store wording relative to the earlier podcast write-up. The page, in this news, does not add other technical details.
