    No, it uses OpenGL. OpenGL supports the same stuff, but that doesn't mean the PS4 will get it. I mean it IS a low to low-mid range PC after all.

    DirectX is a Microsoft technology that runs on Windows (and Xbox) only. Sony has their own graphics API for Playstation 4 that is similar to DX11 in terms of supported features, but it is not DX11.

    It's not likely that we'll see any king of significant graphics upgrade to the PS4 version. It already runs at 20-30fps and having it go any lower would make the game completely unplayable. They may add small graphics improvements in patches (like the rain/wet clothing effect in 2.15) but nothing major.
