What games require an NVMe SSD?

Solved by BobVonBob,
To my knowledge, there is not yet a game that requires an NVMe SSD for a good experience, but that day is coming, and I don't think it's far off. Alan Wake 2 is probably the closest so far. It can have some pop-in even on SATA SSDs, and if given the leeway it can pull up to 2.7 GB/s. [https://www.tomshardware.com/video-games/pc-gaming/alan-wake-2-punishes-your-ssd-at-27-gbs]
On the bright side, NVMe SSDs have basically caught up to SATA SSDs in cost. In my opinion lack of PCIe bandwidth or m.2 slots are the only compelling reasons to use SATA drives now.
