Microsoft brings the excellent DirectStorage feature to PC, opening a new era for super-fast game download speeds
18 months ago, Microsoft revealed that one of the most unique features of the Xbox Series X would be coming to PC. It is the ability to directly transfer huge amounts of data from the NVMe hard drive to the GPU, instead of having to go through the CPU to decompress it first. This feature is called “DirectStorage API”, which helps graphics-heavy games have super fast loading times.
Now, Microsoft says the DirectStorage feature has officially made its way to PCs. “Starting today, PC games can take advantage of DirectStorage. Start a new era of super-fast game loading and incredibly detailed worlds,” Microsoft’s post said.
More specifically, DirectStorage will work with Windows 10, not just Windows 11. Although Microsoft says that Windows 11 is more recommended.
However, before you rush out to the store to buy a new NVMe 4.0 hard drive to enjoy the DirectStorage feature that Microsoft has just put on your PC, you should remember that there are currently no games ready to support the feature. this.
While the developers have been previewing and testing it since July, it hasn’t really been updated for current titles. DirectStorage will be introduced to a PC game for the first time on March 23, when AMD and Luminous Productions talk about the new technology in Forspoken. And we will have to wait until October 11, when this game is officially released.
