Microsoft's new tech cuts Forza Horizon 6's shader loading time from 90 seconds to four seconds

Forza Horizon 6 is the first game to support Microsoft’s Advanced Shader Delivery on most Windows 11 PCs.

Eligible Xbox Insider users with supported Radeon hardware can download precompiled shaders instead of compiling them locally.

Microsoft says this can cut initial loading from about 90 seconds to roughly four seconds.

Nvidia RTX support is planned later, and other titles already use the feature on ROG Xbox Ally devices.
