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

So even if they had sold it on Steam, this was likely not going to work on Steam Deck? Doesn't this denuvo kind of stuff cause issues?
Denuvo doesn't prevent games working on Steam Deck, but depending on how it's implemented it can cause other problems like preventing a game from launching if it hasn't been able to connect online in a while, or weird performance issues. It varies from game to game.
Denuvo works perfectly fine on the Steam Deck/Linux. IDK why people keep repeating this.
Good to know. I haven't run into any issues, but I dunno if any games I've played had it. I had considered getting Mirage for Steam Deck, but I really don't want to own it on ubisofts app.
This misconception with DRM making it unplayable on steam deck I think stems from 3rd party anti-cheat software flagging Linux players. Denuvo "works" fine on steam deck and Linux as a whole, same goes for anti-cheats. Developers always have the option to tune the anti-cheats to allow Linux players, but only some of them do.
