Windows 11 supports Direct Storage API, Auto HDR and the new Store and Xbox Game Pass

The Windows 11 update mainly lies in a new interface and a better operating experience, but for gamers, it seems that there is no appeal. There is a piece of good news. Windows 11 supports Direct Storage API, Auto HDR, and the new Store and Xbox Game Pass.

The DirectStorage API has been mentioned before, allowing the GPU to directly access the data required by the game and directly decompress it for use, but according to the Microsoft Blog, this feature will be exclusive to Windows 11.

As for Auto HDR, it’s time to improve the PC HDR gaming experience, but the live broadcast only mentions that Auto HDR can be better than SDR images, but it doesn’t say whether it needs to be switched manually. Every time you switch from the SDR desktop to the HDR game, there will be a black screen to switch the signal and so on.

As for the Microsoft Game Store, it can only be said that it is worse than the EPIC Store. As for the integration, in addition to becoming better-looking, whether the functions of downloading, saving, verifying files, and storing records of the game can be more perfect, which is expected to be officially launched in the future.

This generation of Windows 11 is currently relatively adjusted for the entire interface. As for the impact on gamers and future PC hardware, you must wait for the future test version to be announced.
