DirectX 12 powered games will appear by the end of 2015

4.7

DirectX 12 is still very much in it’s infancy, but we’re likely to start seeing the benefits of the new graphics technology by the end of the year, according to Microsoft’s games head honcho Phil Spencer.

The new API will be used across the PC and Xbox platforms, and is a central component of Microsoft’s plans for its refreshed views on gaming.

Talking to a fan on Twitter, Phil Spencer revealed that, despite the technology only being in it’s early stages, we’re likely to start seeing full games built from the ground-up with DirectX 12 by the end of 2015.

@whatsausername3 Likely by the end of 2015.

A possible contender for a DirectX 12-powered game for this year would be Fable Legends, with developer Lionhead’s connection to Microsoft probably being beneficial to getting the technology packed in.

The Xbox One graphics already look great. I can't imagine how much they will look after this.

Atleast it's going to improve the xbox, because atm it's lacking so much power.

Is it true that DirectX 12 will enable you to have two different video cards like an Nvidia and AMD at the same time ruling in an SLI/Crossfire mode?

Which will in theory enable you to have better physics/graphics in games because you'd be able to take advantage of each brands best features on their best cards?

Recently playing that Halo 5 beta and thinking that those graphics could get better is amazing.

Cannot wait to see the difference.

partyrock Multiplatform games won't use DX12 because ps4 doesnt have it so Battlefront wont have it.

Monster-Munch
Miss Maybe even Battlefront will take advantage of this as well. Would love to see that game at it's full potential.

That's one game I hope will take advantage of as I can't wait for it and if the extra 180p goes to it they will make it look 100x better then any of the others.

Why wouldn't it? Just the PS4 version with have no use for it?
