Not much. Almost all high-budget games are still developed for consoles first. The hardware inside Xbox One doesn't support DX 12.

The hardware inside the Xbox One most certainly does support DX 12.

Xbox One literally runs Windows

objclxt|10 years ago

It certainly doesn't literally run Windows for games. The Xbox One is a hypervisor based system where a Windows 8 based OS is used for utility applications and user interface, but a custom OS is used for the games[1]. The believe the latter has as much in common with Windows as the Xbox 360 OS (not a huge amount).

No no no lol.

If it literally ran Windows, it would mean that GPU work is actually scheduled between applications and we'd have TDRs and all sorts of things.
