Ubisoft just added Denuvo to Assassins Creed Mirage via a day-1 patch a few minutes ago. AFTER all the major reviews went online. (meta.masto.host)

I guess they did it since Denuvo is generally known to cause performance issues in games.

So, reviewers gave scores on the denuvo-less game, which would have better performance, thus better scores, then they patched denuvo into it, so that they will get their drm and any performance drops will not play a role in any low scores.

But I can't understand why reviewers can't update their review... maybe it's expensive for major reviewers?

I'm sure some will, the result will still be as intended though: a higher Metacritic score
