I wonder if we will see this on PS4 one day. Being as though Sony is a member of the guys making the API, there seems to be no reason why not. Sony already has a low level API, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see this on PS4 one day.

Sony has contributed to the realization of these API. 100% will be used on PS4.

Could be used in ports that don't need any real optimization to run like most indie titles etc, but I think for more demanding titles they made sure it's easy to convert a Vulkan title to the PS4s native API.

As Sony contributed, they are both modern graphics APIs, and Sony left behind its past of hard to program consoles, it's not to be ruled out that they be easily convertable to each other.

I have read that Vulkan are 100% compatible with PS4

"PS4 Compatible" in the thread title.

Does this mean they can port ultra spec games onto PS4?

If so, than this is like the PS4 secret sauce! HOLYSHIT

DirectX 12 on xbox one and Vulkan on PS4. Good for both.
