CrossOver 25 Brings Even More Windows Software to Linux & Mac

The blog post also mentioned, “Additionally, we are excited to announce that CrossOver now includes DXMT, which is a Metal-based implementation of D3D11 on macOS. It can be toggled on in the right sidebar under "Graphics." DXMT is now another option for running DirectX 11 games through CrossOver, in addition to wined3d, DXVK and D3DMetal. While DXMT offers a better experience for some games on all Macs, our QA team found that DXMT offers especially good performance benefits for lower spec Macs.”

There are many more games marked as working in this release of CrossOver, including Far Cry 6, The Last of Us Part 1, and the Dead Space remaster. The full list is below.

Newly Compatible Games

• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Path of Exile 2
• The Last of Us Part 1
• Street Fighter 6
• Tekken 8
• Avowed
• Age of Mythology: Retold
• Fallout 76
• Manor Lords
• Monster Hunter Rise
• Dead Space
• Dragon's Dogma 2
• Age of Wonders 4
• Elite Dangerous
• Hero's Land
• Nioh 2 - The Complete Edition
• Far Cry 6
• Need for Speed Heat
• Teardown

This update also includes faster startup times for the Steam launcher, and GOG Galaxy and Epic Games Store are now supported on macOS for the first time. Not all of the games from those stores are playable on Mac, but just getting the launchers to work reliably is a big step in the right direction.

Finally, CrossOver 25 removes the need for game-specific configurations. The blog post explains, “audio now works on certain games that previously required CrossTies to fix the audio, including The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition and Fallout 4. Furthermore, if you update your Steam bottle with the prompt in the upper right corner of CrossOver, multiplayer will now work in Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition without needing to use the game-specific CrossTie.”

CrossOver for Linux requires an x86 CPU and a 64-bit Linux distribution—there’s no built-in ARM translation just yet. It also works on Chromebooks through the Linux container, though game compatibility might be rougher with the added layer of virtualization. CrossOver for Mac runs on macOS Catalina (10.15) or newer.

Download CrossOver 25

CrossOver has a 14-day free trial, but after that, you’ll need to pay for CrossOver with 12 months of updates and support, or you can get a lifetime license. Even after your membership ends, you can still download and use the last available version, you just won’t get new major updates and bug fixes until you sign up again.

CrossOver is currently on sale for $55.50, down from the regular price of $74, when you use promo code NEXTLEVEL25. The lifetime option is unchanged at $494.
