### AI overview

Advanced Shader Delivery (ASD) is broadly available across Windows 11 devices using supported AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm hardware. It delivers shaders with a game download to reduce loading time, in-game shader stutter, and power use. In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, first-launch shader compilation takes a few seconds with ASD versus several minutes on a typical PC without it; install the Xbox PC app before downloading and keep graphics drivers up to date. ASD is planned for Epic Games Store and Steam, with Epic also adding support to Fortnite. Developers can integrate state object databases today; Unreal Engine 5.8.4 supports this, while Unity support is planned for 2027. Requirements include Windows 11 24H2 or later and specified GPU models and driver versions for each vendor.
