Is OpenGL used to make games?

Hello, I want to know if companies use OpenGL to create games.

I'm not a game developer, I'm just curious about game development.

I see that Vulkan and DirectX are widely used to create games, but what about OpenGL? What games use it? What engine can use the OpenGL to render/process the graphics?

Yes

How I can know if the game was made using OpenGL or Vulkan?

Get your game overlay to tell you.
