DirectX is free. If it is needed the game will install it.

You wont have to pay for it. After you install game, it will automatically ask you to install dx11/12. Or it will come with windows.

Windows will download it if necessary. Note that Windows 7 (or earlier) doesn't support DX12 at all.

Dx12 is part of windows 10.
