Microsoft's plan to get cutting-edge DX12 features out to gamers faster

Microsoft wants more developers to utilise DirectX 12 (DX12) to the fullest. Developers want to be able to use DX12 without forcing players to upgrade Windows to the latest version. The plan: offer a new DirectX 12 Agility SDK (Software Development Kit) as a way to speed up the DirectX development process and get the latest DX12 Ultimate features in games and in the hands of players, pronto.

As Microsoft program manager Jacques van Rhyn says in a blog post introducing the SDK: "what’s good for developers is good for gamers." Speeding up the adoption and rollout of the latest features in DX12 will certainly be a net gain for all involved.

That's what the Agility SDK hopes to achieve. Whereas Microsoft would previously release new features for its widely-used graphics API, such as those included with the DirectX 12 Ultimate (DX12 U) update, actually getting developers to implement these features has been trickier. Developers don't want to leave players in the dust, and some players won't have the necessary Windows updates or hardware to run a game with the latest API upgrades.

At least on the Windows front, the Agility SDK will help speed up the process. The SDK itself is compatible with systems on the Windows November 2019 Update and later. That's important as the DX12 U feature set was introduced and rolled out in the later May 2020 Update.
