Star Ocean The Divine Force Removes Denuvo on Steam

Recently, fans have discovered that the anti-tamper tool, Denuvo, has been removed from one of Square Enix’s latest releases, Star Ocean The Divine Force, as tracked by Steam Database.

For those unaware, Denuvo DRM is an infamous anti-tampering tool usually associated with making games perform worse than they should. Square Enix does have a history of removing Denuvo from select games months after release, with one of the most recent examples being their strategy JRPG The DioField Chronicle. Additionally, Valkyrie Elysium and Triangle Strategy both had this functionality removed too.

Star Ocean The Divine Force is the newest JRPG from developer Tri-Ace. The game features a sci-fi setting as the sixth entry in the franchise with an action-focused battle system.

Throughout Star Ocean The Divine Force, players choose between protagonists Raymond and Laeticia, witnessing the story from multiple unique insights. Raymond’s perceptions offer more sci-fi know-how, while Laeticia’s perspective focuses more on fantasy elements. Combat is real-time. Further, the addition of Stop Mode allows players to literally pause the action, letting them form new stratagems on the fly.
