Steam’s captured US appdetails field discloses Denuvo as third-party DRM. No direct Epic DRM field, activation limits, offline rules, removal plan or verified performance impact appears in the reviewed material.

What Steam discloses

The Steam appdetails record for app 4115450, captured on 26 October 2026 with US data, has the field “Third-party DRM: Denuvo.” This directly supports the Steam PC listing’s disclosure for that snapshot.

PCGamingWiki says all PC store versions require Denuvo Anti-Piracy DRM. That is a secondary wiki statement; it is not a separate official Epic Store disclosure.
