This isn&#8217;t anything new, This time it was CODEX that did the job, and have been known to handle Steam Protected releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Mafia II: Definitive Edition - Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ypPHHj5eDbA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Mafia II: Definitive Edition - Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ypPHHj5eDbA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2K Games haven&#8217;t added any extra form of DRM protection like Denuvo to both this and Mafia 3: Definitive Edition.
