Post by: Redaktion on May 18, 2026, 22:25:35
Microsoft says its Advanced Shader Delivery technology cuts Forza Horizon 6's initial shader compilation from about 90 seconds to 4 seconds by downloading precompiled, hardware-specific shaders through its PC distribution channels. The feature is currently limited to Windows 11 users with supported AMD GPUs, Xbox Insider enrollment, and copies installed via the Xbox app or Microsoft Store, leaving Steam and Nvidia players without access for now.
