In the announcement, Microsoft mentions that DirectStorage games are compatible with both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
However, Microsoft’s latest operating system has it built-in and is what the company recommends for gamers.
So while you don’t need to upgrade from Windows 10, it’s still not a bad idea.
It’s important to remember that no PC games support the feature as of right now.
That said, this will likely be a large part of game development in the future.
It’s the first title to support DirectStorage when the game arrives on October 11th for Windows.
