DirectStorage is not exclusive to Windows 11. Windows 10 can also be used in the future

Microsoft DirectStorage, a new generation of storage technology that has been used on Xbox Series X/S, has previously landed on the PC platform together with the new Windows 11. Many people think that this means that Microsoft will not release DirectStorage to Windows 10, which makes many players a little disappointed. After all, the loading speed of games on Xbox Series X/S is so fast. However, now players do not have to be disappointed anymore, because Microsoft recently confirmed that DirectStorage will also land on Windows 10.

If anyone doesn’t know what DirectStorage is, it’s the Xbox Series X/S that can have lightning-fast game loading times this time. This technology allows NVME SSD to bypass the CPU and memory, and directly transfer data to the video memory, greatly reducing the loading time of the game, and solving the sudden appearance of annoying materials.

So why do players think that DirectStorage will only appear on Windows 11? This is because in a blog earlier, a related person from Microsoft bluntly stated that this feature is only available on Windows 11. And now, in a recent blog, Hassan Uraizee, a Microsoft project manager, made it clear that as long as the player’s Windows 10 is 1090 or later, they can also enjoy DirectStorage technology.

This should be very good news for players, and it is also conducive to the practical application and promotion of DirectStorage.
