ZeroSpace has arrived on Steam Early Access today, July 20, 2026, and there’s one small but notable detail for PC players watching DRM: the game’s Steam page does not list Denuvo or any third‑party DRM.
Steam store listings are the clearest public indicator of whether a release ships with extra protections, and ZeroSpace’s page currently shows no Denuvo callout in the usual spot where Valve surfaces third‑party DRM notices. It’s not a blanket promise about the future, but it is the state of play at launch.
ZeroSpace comes from Starlance Studios with Ironward, billed as a hybrid RTS/RPG mixing solo, co-op, PvP and a shared galactic war layer. The Early Access build includes campaign missions, co-op operations and skirmish options, with the team planning roughly a year in Early Access depending on feedback.
What the listing tells us today
On launch day, the Steam page outlines core online features like MMO elements, Online PvP and Online Co-op, but it does not display a third‑party DRM banner or a Denuvo line. Historically, when games integrate Denuvo Anti‑tamper at or before launch, Steam’s product page carries a specific note. Its absence here suggests ZeroSpace is shipping without it right now.
Two caveats are worth remembering. First, publishers sometimes add or remove protections after launch, which can update the store listing. Second, the team could choose other server‑side checks tied to online modes that don’t show up as client DRM. Neither of those appears on the page today, but the possibility exists later in Early Access.
For players who care about the performance impact or modding friction often associated with heavyweight PC protections, today’s clean listing will be welcome. If that changes, it should be reflected on the store page and patch notes. We’ll keep an eye on it alongside our coverage of Denuvo and other DRM protections.
You can see the current details and download the demo directly from the game’s Steam listing. As always with Early Access projects, expect the content mix and technical setup to evolve over time.
