Earlier this month, Microsoft released its much-awaited DirectStorage API to PC game developers. The Redmond giant says the technology — which was first implemented for the Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S consoles — will soon bring the same benefits to PCs equipped with fast solid-state storage.

Specifically, DirectStorage will take advantage of the great internal parallelism of modern storage devices to enable lightning-fast loading times, seamless in-game transitions, more expansive and detailed worlds, and even features like Quick Resume. In other words, we should see fewer texture pop-ins, shorter interruptions when navigating game worlds, and more lifelike graphics in future games.

Is coding the API and/or the other software to interact with said API too much trouble for a gaming oriented something like the SSG to ever be "worth it"?

First, DX12 brought better parallelized code, and now it's tackling data.  That's commendable, wondering where Vulkan is at.

In comparing Windows 10 vs 11, was I correct in thinking you need 11 to take advantage of this as it rolls out in games?

Im really looking forward to this. Was the main reason I jumped to Win 11 as originally they only mention Direct Storage coming to 11 but good to see 10 will also see some love.
