Atomic Heart Removes Denuvo DRM on PC

Mundfish has officially removed Denuvo anti-tamper technology from the PC version of Atomic Heart. The update arrives more than three years after the title originally launched in February 2023.

Quick Facts

Game: Atomic Heart
Developer: Mundfish
Change: Removal of Denuvo DRM
Date: August 2026
Platform: PC (Steam)

While the game's Steam store page may continue to display Denuvo-related notices temporarily, the anti-tamper protection has been stripped directly from the game files. Removing the software eliminates the performance overhead and online connectivity requirements often associated with DRM.

For players on Linux or Steam Deck, the removal simplifies the environment for Atomic Heart. The title is officially classified as Steam Deck Verified and runs via Proton and Wine.
