The removal of Denuvo is not yet officially confirmed since this is only available on the beta branch but people are reporting that the .exe has gone from 200mb to 20 mb and that the intro is much smoother.

Nice! Hopefully these are things they'll have included in Kiwami when it launches next week. I mean, Denuvo will probably be there, but the ultra-wide and FOV support would be appreciated.

If Denuvo really is removed I will consider buying the PC version.

I wonder if this would play decently on my GPD Win 2. That would be pretty cool.

It seems like Denuvo has been removed from Kiwami...

Well, that's a pleasant surprise!

Paging Digital Foundry, take the opportunity to bench the game with and without Denuvo.

I don't think there's even a point of keeping denuvo anymore since the game got pirated like last year.

Good update!

I played it on GPD Win 2, it's 60fps in interiors, 25-40 in Kamurocho and 20-30 in Osaka with 50% render scale at 720p and everything on low. It runs decently enough to play through, especially when you just want to do a little pocket racing.

Nice! Hopefully this makes a GOG release more likely. I played it once on PS4 but will double dip to play it again if so.

It's a shame we don't have access to detailed sales figures anymore, otherwise we could see how much Denuvo removal on an existing release really affects sales. I'm still of the opinion that the anti-Denuvo crowd on steam is a very small, but very vocal, group (in the hundreds, if that). That said, I'm not complaining about the removal at all. Hopefully all the other fixes solves the remaining issues still experienced by some set ups (reaction on steam seems positive so far)
