- The tool supports DirectStorage for faster loading times and better optimization.
- While the benchmark provides insights, it doesn't guarantee final performance due to potential optimizations in the full release.
The game's official release is set for February 28, 2025, with preloading starting on February 26. Players can also participate in open beta tests throughout February to further evaluate performance.
