What the store restriction says
The Steam listing identifies Denuvo and the machine activation limit. That is not an FPS cap, a limit of five game purchases or a verified explanation of every reactivation scenario. Consult the store and publisher if you plan to change hardware frequently.
Do not substitute a performance claim for tests
The store listing establishes a DRM condition, rather than a measured performance penalty. We have not run a controlled DRM comparison and cannot attribute an individual crash or frame-rate problem to Denuvo from this listing alone.
Offline modes do not settle DRM authentication
Campaign, Scenarios and Arcade can be played offline according to the FAQ. The updated FAQ also confirms that the first PC launch needs internet authentication. It does not document the duration of later offline authentication or every DRM edge case. A PC Collector’s Edition Steam code also remains a Steam copy.
