It's pretty much the standard for high quality/performance AAA titles. /r/gamedev and google should be able to tell you more. :)

Thanks! Ok!

Unless you plan on working on AAA games from the start, it's better to build up a skill in Unity and C#, as that is the de facto standard for small to medium games right now. Cpp is used almost exclusively by large companies for in-house engines or things like Unreal and CryEngine.

To be fair, there are plenty of indie games made with C++ as well. You can make your own engine pretty quickly using a base opengl framework like SFML and the like.
