PC Gamer has word that the new episodic Hitman series will launch with native DirectX 12 support, something they learned during a weekender event they're conducting. They show a super blurry slide from a presentation as proof of the news, and here's what it says:

DirectX 12

DirectX 12 supported on release

• Better multithreading
• Increased performance where CPU bound
• Better experiences for laptop gamers
• Asynchronous compute on AMD cards for significant performance gains
• Early days but we will continue expanding and improving on the Dx12 experience in future releases
