Is there a full list of games using direct storage?

[Lord Flashheart]

So
I use windows only for gaming.
Windows 10 presently.
As my CPU is not an intel one with different core types, no need for windows 11 yet.
It is the 5800X3D if anyone is interested.

Direct Storage is another potential benefit.
So if a lot of my games use direct storage, have a good reason to upgrade to windows 11.

If not, well will wait until next year before the support ends.

Useful info appreciated.

Huh? Win10 has DirectStorage as well. Just requires DX12 + NVME SSD

I'm not sure that this is a complete list and I don't even think its actually in Diablo 4 (it didn't seem like it from load times when I played but I gave up on it mid season 2). Terrible game aside it was very noticeable how well it worked in Forspoken, load times were practically instant. Hopefully more developers will get on board.

It works on 10 but not as well as it does on 11 as 10 doesn't have the BypassIO optimizations.

I have exactly 0 of those games in my steam games library.

Nope ray tracing looks great, if your card can handle it.

This is 2 years old, showing an improvement in load times, but barely used on PCs sadly.

The problem is that 80-90% of developers have no clue how Ray Tracing works.
They add RT on top of textures who already have reflections....A huge mistake.

Ray Tracing were done properly in "Watch Dogs Legion".
Huge difference with and without RT.
WDL are still one of the benchmark games for RT even 3-4 years after release.
