This is one of the reasons why moving games from HDD to SSDs today on PCs don’t see the same benefit as we see on the PS5 or Xbox Series X/S. With DirectStorage, the GPU can access the data from storage much faster, meaning less time wasted by the CPU, and shorter loading times when optimized for.

While Microsoft didn’t reveal how the feature can be accessed, if Xbox Series X/S consoles are anything to go by, then the feature will be available from within the Xbox App’s settings. HDR on Windows has been in a sorry state for a long time, and with AutoHDR coming to Windows 11, hopefully the experience outside of playing games will also be improved.
The entire process is handled by Xbox’s team, similar to how it handles FPS Boost.
