The companies will join forces to combat video game piracy across desktop, mobile, console, and VR platforms.

The partnership is aimed at expanding the market for Denuvo’s anti-piracy services.

The company will continue to operate normally while retaining its staff, while its product offering will be bolstered by Irdeto’s Cloakware technology.
