Crackers claim Denuvo bypass hits all non-VR games via Hypervisor exploit

Cracking forums, including CrackWatch, claim all non-VR Denuvo-protected games have been bypassed using a Hypervisor exploit that runs below the OS. Capcom’s Pragmata was cited as recently bypassed ahead of its launch. Irdeto says it’s developing countermeasures that won’t move Denuvo below the OS, but publishers may still face revenue impact (up to about 20% in the first week) until new protections land, effectively creating an open season for affected titles.

Denuvo Tightens Security After Hypervisor DRM Crack

A hypervisor-based bypass of Denuvo DRM prompted the company and its parent Irdeto to announce updated security versions and a new online check requiring verification every two weeks for affected games; FitGirl claimed the bypass makes all single-player Denuvo games cracked, with NBA 2K25/26 and Marvel's Midnight Suns cited as examples; officials insist the changes won't impact performance and will not run in Ring -1, though the DRM raises ongoing debates about ownership and preservation as anti-piracy measures evolve.

Denuvo DRM Appears Defeated as Hypervisor Cracks Sweep PC Games

PC piracy researchers say Denuvo’s anti-tamper protection is effectively defeated via unsigned hypervisor bypasses, making all known Denuvo-protected PC games crackable or bypassable. The breakthrough, led by groups like DenuvOwO and Voices38, means even recent releases circulate freely; Irdeto is pursuing countermeasures, but the list of uncracked titles reportedly shrinks, with only a few VR titles potentially holding out.

"Urgent VMware Patches Blunt Critical Hypervisor Flaws"

VMware's hypervisors have been found to have four significant flaws, with the most severe ones allowing a malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine to execute code outside the guest. VMware has urged an emergency change to address these vulnerabilities, which affect its Workstation, Fusion, and ESXi hypervisors. The flaws were discovered by researchers at the Tianfu Cup Pwn Contest, and VMware has provided workarounds while acknowledging potential challenges in implementing them at scale.

"SpecterDev Reveals In-Kernel Hypervisor Secrets in Earlier PS5 Firmwares"

PS5 hacker SpecterDev has shared details about early versions of the PS5 Hypervisor, which is responsible for protecting the console's firmware and kernel. Earlier iterations of the Hypervisor were found to be running as part of the kernel, potentially making them more vulnerable to attacks. The smaller size of the PS5 Hypervisor suggests that Sony aimed for a smaller attack surface to ensure better security. Breaking the Hypervisor is seen as crucial for further opening up the PS5, but it remains a challenge for hackers.
