- Microsoft Store version does not seem to use Denuvo Anti-Tamper based on the size of the executable (59,226 KB), the lack of connection to any of the regular Denuvo Anti-Tamper servers (neither srv01-srv03 nor revalidate.wbgames.com), how fast the game starts to initialize on launch (basically instant), as well as the lack of an offline token in any of the usual folders.
