The PC gaming community is buzzing as news broke out that Capcom’s latest horror gaming title has been compromised. Despite the strict security protection provided by Denuvo, Resident Evil Requiem has reportedly been cracked. Making the first traditional crack to have its copy protection compromised.
Resident Evil Requiem Cracked in Record Time
The Resident Evil Requiem was released on February 27 on the most recent version of Denuvo, along with a few additional security layers. Hence, the Resident Evil Requiem was a difficult target to crack from the start.
Surprisingly, roughly six weeks after the release of Requiem, there have been posts about the title being cracked by Voices38. An NFO file and complete download links were included in the latest crack, according to a forum post by the cracker, Voices38. The thread post title refers to the cracked Resident Evil Requiem as “HYPERVISOR PLAYABLE,” even though the post description described it as a straight crack.
Even though the workarounds for hypervisors appeared almost immediately—some within hours—they came with security issues and the need to tinker with BIOS settings. The Voices38 song is being hailed as the first traditional crack of 2026.
Does the cracked Requiem work perfectly?
Many comments under the Reddit post suggest that the cracked Resident Evil Requiem actually works for now. So far, we’ve yet to download or try the cracked files ourselves. As such, we do not recommend that you do either.
In the Reddit post tagged RESIDENT EVIL 9 GOT CRACKED, many users are calling the issue a ‘big deal’. Others said the cracked run is smoother than the hypervisor’s version. And many regulars are already seeding and inspecting it.
However, you should know that cracks like this can occasionally cause problems. So far, Redditors under r/piracy are very happy the crack still works. Matter of fact, some are already enjoying the game. Many even joke about it, referring to the Voices38 cracked Resident Evil Requiem as the downfall of Denuvo and calling on Capcom to rethink the DRM. A crack appearing so soon after launch isn’t exactly what publishers were hoping for, but the game sold millions of copies in its first month and reached a peak of about 344,000 players on Steam. This early sales spike is precisely why publishers continue to pay for Denuvo.
