Microsoft Copilot was, by far, the star of the Microsoft event in New York on Sept. 21. It’s coming to everything Microsoft, in myriad ways and forms. The Surface hardware that Redmond decloaked was a sideshow, and perhaps a tad subdued with the departure of Panos Panay, Microsoft’s animated chief of the Surface world.

Microsoft announces even more Game Pass titles for the remainder of September.

The first-person shooter Payday 3 is set to hit stores on September 21, with Early Access opening on September 18. Steam’s storefront revealed that the game will feature Denuvo, which is an anti-tampering software meant to curb piracy. This caused some upset among fans, as the software has a bad reputation.

When anti-piracy software Denuvo is removed from a game days before its release date, it's usually because pirates cracked an early access version. Not so with Payday 3. It's due to release on September 21st, but its developers have decided to handle things themselves.

Payday 3 is one of the most highly anticipated FPS games, and it’ll be here soon. Ahead of its upcoming launch, Starbreeze Studios has been revealing more information about what players can expect to see in-game. Now, they’ve revealed what we can expect to not see. In an interesting last-minute change, the developer has announced that Payday 3 will no longer be releasing with Denuvo, a controversial anti-cheat and anti-tampering system.
