Confirmed facts
Each fact is a sentence from a source that at least two independent outlets report.
Shady Tactics: A year after Microsoft first introduced the feature, Advanced Shader Delivery is now expanding to popular game engines and digital storefronts.
Microsoft's ASD aims to address the problem by moving parts of the shader compilation workload away from local PCs and introducing two technologies: the State Object Database (SODB) and the Precompiled Shader Database (PSDB).
The ASD Tool, new software included with UE 5.8, can generate an SODB from a "cooked" Windows game build.
ASD-based solutions will require users to install up-to-date graphics drivers, but the technology is ultimately expected to support gaming-capable GPUs across multiple vendors, with applications on both PCs and mobile devices.
