Of course, Denuvo is already in the demo and will be pushed into the full game by Square Enix, the same publisher that used DRM in the free Life is Strange 2 teaser (which raises some questions about how seriously the Japanese publisher can be taken).
Final Fantasy XVI will also be available on Steam and the Epic Games Store in two versions. There will be the base game for $50 and the Complete Edition for $70, which includes the Echoes of the Fallen and The Rising Tide DLC. In the demo, you can play the first session of the game and transfer your save to the full game. But let’s have a look at the system requirements:

On the Steam forum, one of the topics is about Denuvo, and the user says that users are already complaining about the performance despite the strong hardware, which he says is because of the absurd DRM, and many other games have proven this in the past. In any case, a PC port of Final Fantasy XVI will be released on Steam and the Epic Games Store on September 17th. When will the DRM-free version be available on GOG? Never?
