And android. I.e. everything but Mac OS, iOS.
- EddieRingle 9y agoPlus you can get Vulkan on macOS with MoltenVK.
- wlesieutre 9y agoI've seen that before, and while it's technically true it's also 100% useless for an open source engine.
- microcolonel 9y agoIt may be open sourced in the future, there are stakeholders who might be willing to pay for this to happen (Google, for example, might want it for their iOS and Apple deployments).
- earenndil 9y agoEh, google doesn't really need it. They don't make anything that requires high performance and cross-platform, they don't make games, and chrome is only for android so they don't need to be able to run it on ios.
- microcolonel 9y agoChrome runs on OS X, where GL is deteriorating; they also have Maps and Earth on iOS.
- pjmlp 9y agoOn Android it is optional for 7+ devices, currently about 13% of market share. It is not available on Sony and Microsoft consoles, UWP apps. On the Nintendo Switch there is NVAPI, which provides even more low level control.
