DirectX 13 has always been just a rumor. So far, there is no official announcement or news about DirectX 13 from Microsoft. The question remains if it will exist in the future.

The closest possible rumor, from a source claimed to be from Microsoft, about DirectX 13 is that it won’t exist in near future. DirectX 12 is meant be the last and final version of DirectX. This somehow relates to another rumor about there is no Windows 11, and Windows 10 being the final version of Windows OS.

DirectX 13 release date – won’t exist?

What we would like to guess is that, they made it sounds like it’s the final version, but in fact, they will continue to release update as they improve these products, be it DirectX 12 or Windows 10. It’s just that they won’t change their product names anymore. They will still release improvements and updates as they are available but will still be calling it DirectX 12. It’s just like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome. There is no Firefox 2, 3 or 4. There is only a single version of what we called the Mozilla Firefox. They too have updates and improvements very frequently. They just don’t like to call it Firefox 1 2 3 4 which doesn’t really help.

Nevertheless, all these are just mere speculations and rumors. The future existence of DirectX 13 is still highly possible. There was once the vice president of AMD had announced that there will be no DirectX 12 when DirectX 11 was first released. But just look where we are now, DirectX 12 is currently the most successful DirectX version in history. The history might repeat itself just the same for DirectX 13.

Another guess would be that DirectX 13 will come with Windows 11. Just like how all the past DirectX and Windows versions cross support. For example, DirectX 12 supports only Windows 10, while DirectX 11 supports only Windows 7 and 8, etc.
