After CODEX’s retirement, there’s only one active pirate group that can crack Denuvo DRM games, and they are known as Empress.Įmpress has previously cracked games such as Dying Light 2, Marvel’s Guardians Of The Galaxy, Far Cry 6, Deathloop, etc. However, this process becomes more complicated if the game has an online requirement or Denuvo protection. Using these emulators, pirate groups can crack any offline game in minutes. Pirate groups like CODEX have also developed emulators for popular gaming storefronts like Steam and Epic Games Store. Games can be played with this crack file without the original license keys or authorization. The crack file is a patch or part of the game that has been reverse-engineered. This process leads to a crack or key generator.
Pirate groups generally decrypt the copyright protection installed on the software and then reverse engineer the game.
