Some titles now depend on SSDs due to efficient asset handling. Streaming assets is gaining traction in several games such as Star Citizen, Dual Universe, and the forthcoming New World. Future systems will benefit from this approach. In Star Citizen, Object Container Streaming lessens the client's rendering demands and removes traditional loading screens. This means journeys like taking an elevator or train between locations feel seamless—no hidden delays like those in Spider-Man’s subway for PS4. The train or elevator traverses the game world live, so when you pass over New Babbage, the hyperloop appears as a dynamic element, not a static animation. Zooming in reveals real players aboard. This technology enables such experiences and will encourage more games to adopt similar methods.
