How to use directStorage support in Forspoken - Ultimate Guide

DirectStorage API Support is a set of APIs developed by Microsoft to improve the loading times of PC games. The API works by reducing the number of times the game has to read and write data to a storage device such as an HDD, SATA SSD, or an NVMe SSD. This helps to reduce the time it takes for a game to load.

To take advantage of DirectStorage API Support in Forspoken, you need to have an NVMe SSD installed. This storage device performs much better than a regular HDD or SATA SSD in terms of speed and data transfer. It’s recommended you watch Luminous Productions’ video on YouTube “Technologies of FORSPOKEN” to get a better understanding of the performance differences between different storage devices.

Once you’ve installed an NVMe SSD, you’ll be able to enjoy the benefits of other Microsoft technologies such as Ray Tracing Shadows, Screen Space Reflections, Ambient Occlusion, and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution. All of which can help improve the visual quality of the game and reduce loading times even further.
