If you're not currently constrained on space, no need to get a "faster" drive for that use.
The magical faster benchmarks of a good NVMe drive don't translate into better game performance.

If you ARE in need of more drive space, then maybe consider a low cost NVMe drive.
Crucial P1 or Intel 660p.

But don't get one because you think it will help your gaming pursuits.

M.2 NVME will give you a slightly faster boot and loading times compared to SSD SATA but a huge improvement in copying files. I wouldn't recommend getting one yet, instead, wait for next gen titles as they will be optimized for faster drives

Have any info or documentation on this?

Look at PS5 and XBOX Series X specs and plans for next gen, they kept advertising fast SSD and loading times

So...all just speculation as yet.

A statement of "will be optimized" would need some actual info to back it up.
