“The Deus Ex franchise originated on PC, and we’re passionate about continuing to provide the best experience possible to our long-time fans and players on the PC,” says the Steam post.

“Contrary to our previous announcement, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which is shipping on August 23, will unfortunately not support DirectX 12 at launch. We have some extra work and optimisations to do for DX12, and we need more time to ensure we deliver a compelling experience.

“Our teams are working hard to complete the final push required here though, and we expect to release DX12 support on the week of September 5. We thank you for your patience, passion, and support.”
