Irdeto revealed that TraceMark for Games is a new watermark technology that lets developers add a unique ID to game files. This special marking will, in turn, allow developers to track down where the leaked content originated from and, Irdeto claimed, should discourage leakers from leaking sensitive information. The marking can be visible or invisible, but the invisible watermark is more interesting as developers can hide the watermark technology with leakers, unaware that it is present.


Irdeto noted that the tool is designed to "secure the environment around game development, particularly during the crucial pre-release phase," such as game developers looking to hold beta tests or send out review copies to content creators, influencers, and press. For additional security measures, Irdeto confirmed that TraceMark could be combined with Denuvo's Anti-temper product, allowing studios "to control distribution" of content ahead of its release date.
