Event set for March 20.
Microsoft will reveal the latest iteration of its graphics API, DirectX
12, later this month at the Games Developers Conference in San
Francisco. Microsoft confirmed the new platform via a landing page on the DirectX blog as
well as posting in the event's session schedule. At 10am PT on March
20, Anuj Gosalia, Windows graphics development manager at Microsoft will
present the new API, though additional details remain scarce. The
panel's description highlights how the company plans to deliver on
demands of better tools for developers, added performance, and support
for an "unparalleled assortment of hardware," with specific mention of
PCs, tablets, phones, and consoles.
DirectX 12 will be the first generational leap for the platform since
DirectX 11 made its debut in 2008. We'll be covering the event live from
the show, so stay tuned for news, videos, and more.
