The DirectX team also announced that the newest version of its software will be compatible with Unreal Engine 4, the next iteration of the popular graphics engine that powers many of the biggest video games.
The Windows 10 technical preview is available now through the Windows Insider program--anyone can join and try out the new OS as it undergoes development. The DirectX team encourages anyone involved in its DX12 early access program to enroll in Windows Insider and experiment with Windows 10. The offer ties in to Unreal Engine 4, as well, giving even more incentive to developers.

"These game developers will receive everything they need to kickstart their DX12 development, including: updated runtime, API headers, drivers, documentation, and samples, all of which will work with the Windows 10 Technical Preview.
"As we announced in our last blog post, members of our Early Access program who subscribe to Unreal Engine 4 can receive source access to the DX12 port of UE4. We've worked with Epic to create a DX12 branch on the UE4 GitHub repository. This branch supports UE 4.4, the latest publically released version of the Unreal 4 Engine! Come join our open development project and help make DX12 great!"
