I'm a bit out of the loop on this tech.

Do the developers have to implement this on their end, or does Windows/DirectX automatically take advantage of DirectStorage? Its all about asset-unpacking, yes? In which case, I assume the game engine has to support it?

Yes the game engine has to support from the developers end. Forspoken is the first PC game to take advanatge of DirectStorage, works in a similar fashion to the PlayStation 5’s storage solution. Pressing Windows + G and going to settings you can see if your PC supports directstorage.
