Direct Storage also in ten
Players on Windows 10 will also get an add-on, initially reserved for the new operating system…
One of the innovations brought by the new Windows 11 operating system is Direct Storage. It is a technology built into the Xbox Series X|S gaming consoles, and it allows parallel reading from NVMe SSDs and uses the GPU to decompress data, significantly reducing data load times.
Microsoft first announced that it would only bring Direct Storage to Windows 11, but now it has apparently changed its mind and it will also be available to users of Windows 10 version 1909 and later, but in a slightly reduced form, so that for the "best experience" it will be necessary to use Windows 11.
Data reading speed does not only depend on Microsoft or the technology as such - Direct Storage must also be supported by game developers, so pay attention to this information in the future.
