But wait, there's more: the first Vulkan only title just released last week on Windows!
Yes, Wolfenstein the new colossus is Vulkan only!

Actually all MS backed Windows 10 store only ports are DX12 exclusively (Forza series, Gears of Wars, etc.).

Mind you, this is still a Windows game translated to Vulkan.
But since in all previous ports the translation layer seems to be a serious bottleneck, it will be very interesting to see what Vulkan can do. Unfortunately, the code won't be available so we still won't be able to say anything about the quality of the translation layer.
