This page compiles two special cases where the usual “crack/no crack” lens doesn’t tell the full story:
- Online‑only: titles that require servers for core gameplay (cracking is functionally irrelevant without backend).
- Free‑to‑play using Denuvo: F2P entries that still integrate Denuvo Anti‑Tamper.
For other categories, see the companion pages:
- Uncracked Denuvo Games (current status)
- Cracked Denuvo Games (recent highlights + legacy 2014–2020)
- Games that no longer have Denuvo (removed) (publisher removals post‑launch)
- Upcoming Denuvo Games (2025 & 2026)

Online‑only and F2P titles sit outside the classic Denuvo debate: backend servers and ongoing services matter more than anti‑tamper alone. For a full picture of Denuvo’s role across PC releases, check the companion pages listed above.
