Rhythm action game Hi-Fi Rush has lost its Denuvo protection. Publisher Krafton has officially announced its complete removal from the PC version.
Denuvo support will end on January 16, 2026. Before this, players need to install the patch, otherwise the game will not start.
Krafton clarifies: after removing Denuvo, Hi-Fi Rush will still have a built-in protection mechanism, but this will not affect the gameplay in any way.
Hi-Fi Rush was one of the brightest releases of 2023, receiving positive reviews from critics but failing in terms of sales.
Poor commercial returns caused Tango Gameworks to close, but the studio has since found a new owner in Krafton and will continue to work on the series.
Interestingly, Hi-Fi Rush is officially sold on Russian Steam – the price is 1,199 rubles. Now, after Denuvo's removal, the game's presence on torrents is expected to increase.
