Forspoken, the first title with Microsoft DirectStorage is out, and the early tests show quite promising results. Square Enix claims around 1-2 second loads which happen to indeed be the case mostly.
Microsoft’s DirectStorage API was one of the main reasons why Square Enix’s Forspoken on PC was such a highly anticipated game. The new storage API was built on Xbox Velocity architecture and was set to revolutionize gaming. Early demos had shown extremely promising results and third-party testing on compatible hardware was equally impressive.
