"Diablo IV Supports DirectStorage API and Introduces Level 25 Druid Gameplay"

TL;DR Summary
Dataminers have found files related to Microsoft's DirectStorage API in the Diablo IV beta, which could potentially reduce load times in the game by taking advantage of SSD hardware. If implemented, Diablo IV would become the second PC game to support DirectStorage, following Forspoken. DirectStorage was released in March 2022 and aims to reduce CPU overhead and improve background processing. However, Forspoken's recent patch improved performance but increased load times. Diablo IV will release on June 6th and support NVIDIA DLSS 3 at launch, with ray tracing added in a post-launch update.
