Bethesda Softworks has removed Denuvo DRM from RAGE 2 despite the game launching just last week. They have done this by releasing a new update on PC which also includes a set of additional fixes.
Denuvo DRM was a part of RAGE 2 when it launched for Steam but it was not implemented for Bethesda’s own digital store, which is how the game was cracked easily by pirates. After the pirated copy started to make the rounds online, Bethesda Softworks has decided to remove Denuvo DRM from the Steam version of the game.

- Removes Denuvo DRM (We saw a few requests.)
- Enables Crash Reporter for error reporting
- Fixes occasional crash related to Scaleform
- Fixes occasional crash on startup
- Fixes issue where Bethesda.net users would always default to English

RAGE 2 still hasn’t received any post-launch update for consoles. The day one update that was released for PS4 and Xbox One included bug fixes but no details were shared for them.
