Game Pass
Hooded Horse and Microsoft listed Corsair Cove for PC Game Pass on launch day. That covers the base game while it remains in the catalog. Catalog rotations can change later.
Denuvo
Launch coverage and Steam discussions mentioned Denuvo style DRM on some builds. DRM lines can change after patches. Read the live Steam and Xbox pages for the current notice.
What to do
If you care about offline installs, always online checks, or DRM freeness, verify the store feature list the day you buy or redeem Game Pass.
