I figured as much, but it's still nice to hear something new about it.

It’s been a thing for a while now. Hell, you should even be running an SSD for Windows these days.

HDD isn’t suitable for modern systems, except for cheaper mass storage.

Yes, I wouldn’t run any OS off of anything slower than an SSD.

I was just wondering when it became a “requirement” for games instead of just a good thing to do.

The beginning of the end for HDD gaming was probably the PS5 release, it’s been an afterthought since then.

It became a requirement after the Xbox Series and PS5 consoles included SSDs and developers started taking advantage of that.
