CrossOver 23.5 has been released for macOS, Linux and Chrome OS.

This release offers an alternate way to run DirectX 11 and DirectX 12 games through CrossOver, using components from the Apple game porting toolkit. It can be enabled by toggling on “D3DMetal” in the right bottle sidebar.

The new D3DMetal option improves quality, compatibility, and performance for many games on Macs with the M1 chip or later, including Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Cyberpunk 2077, Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon, Mortal Kombat 1, Deep Rock Galactic, Satisfactory, Monster Hunter Rise, God of War and Batman Arkham Knight.

Saying Value is the number one contributor to Game Porting Toolkit just isn’t true though. Wine has been around for almost 30 years now and Value (only about 5 years ago) jumped on the only project that has any real success with running Win games on Linux. I was using Wine and Crossover to play games on my Mac before Proton was a thing. The real magic that pushes performance to acceptable levels has been the introduction of Apple's own D3DMetal libraries.

Let’s give credit where credit is due.
