After Denuvo’s Removal, Is It Worth Waiting on The Alters?
Bandai Namco and Media.Vision released an update on July 9 saying Digimon Story: Time Stranger has officially removed Denuvo. According to the original source article, the clearest immediate change is technical: the game’s EXE is now roughly 335MB smaller. For a PC release, that is a tangible change even without official performance data.
It is worth keeping the impact in perspective. Digimon Story: Time Stranger is an RPG, not the kind of game where players scrutinize every frame the way they would in a fighting game. And the developers did not publish data showing better frame rates or improved stability. Still, for PC players, removing Denuvo is a concrete signal. One layer of software overhead is gone, and a 335MB drop in the executable is at least measurable.
It also shifts attention back to the game itself. Digimon Story: Time Stranger is the latest entry in the Digimon Story series, released in October 2025. It is a role-playing game where players jump between the real world and the digital world of Iliad as they gradually uncover the mystery of the world’s destruction. At the very least, that two-world structure suggests some care went into pacing and story setup, rather than leaning entirely on cutscenes and dialogue.
The removal also matters to the PC community. Before this update, the game had only been cracked by the group DenuvOwO using Hypervisor technology. That detail says plenty on its own: this was not protection that got casually bypassed. Now that the publisher has removed it officially, legitimate PC buyers are left with a more practical signal about post-launch support than any flashy statement.
The practical takeaway is simple. If you were already watching the PC version of Digimon Story: Time Stranger, this update is a positive signal and probably enough to bump your interest up by 1 notch. If your top priority is stability and the general PC experience, buying after Denuvo’s removal at least makes the game feel more settled than it did before. If you are mainly here for the Digimon IP, though, this update is more of a minor quality-of-life win than a transformative change, so expectations should stay in check.
More broadly, this has become a familiar move across the industry. Publishers often value DRM most during the launch window, then remove it once that early sales window has passed. In the case of Digimon Story: Time Stranger, the decision is not flashy, but it is sensible. For the PC community, fewer extra restrictions are rarely bad news.

I care less about the EXE shrinking and more about whether dropping Denuvo actually smooths out stutter; for me this still comes down to how complete the PC version feels beyond pure nostalgia.
A 335MB smaller EXE after the July 9 Denuvo removal is the kind of PC housekeeping I like, but I’d still wait for real performance comparisons before buying.
Fair, but I wouldn't treat benchmarks as the only deciding factor; once the DRM is gone, the bigger question is still whether the PC release feels complete enough to justify the nostalgia pull.
