In anticipation for the Windows 10 rollout, and, in turn, the arrival of DirectX 12, here's a snapshot of what to expect from the next-generation API. While we have yet to see games that are built ground up on DirectX 12, it is expected that these games will hit the market as soon as the end of 2015. With the rollout of Windows 10, DirectX 12 will replace the seven-year old DirectX 11, which currently commands 70% of the PC gaming market. DirectX 12 will unlock next-generation graphics for games that utilize new game engines like Unity, CryENGINE, and Unreal Engine 4. One of the most exciting things to come along with Windows 10 rolling out later this year will be the release of DirectX 12 during the 2015 holiday season.
