If you’re hankering for more Windows games on your Mac, you might like this.
CrossOver 23.0.0 has just been released for the Mac. As always, the software allows Mac and Linux users to play Windows games, the new version offers improved support for DirectX 12, while its new geometry shader support allows games to play without graphics issues.
Following its first successful tests of running DirectX 12 games on Mac in June 2023, CodeWeavers has now announced that an update CrossOver 23 is shipping with this feature and more.
The company offered the following comments in a blog post:
“Our most exciting feature is initial DirectX 12 support on macOS. Diablo II Resurrected and Diablo IV are currently running well on macOS Ventura, making them the first DirectX 12 games working on a released macOS version. This breakthrough was the culmination of years of development,” it continues, “and we look forward to continuing to aggressively pursue support for even more DirectX 12 titles.”
The new version also adds geometry shaders to prevent the black screens or other graphics issues in games. Plus the EA app is now running on macOS Ventura using CrossOver.
The company also stated that it’s prepping for Apple’s macOS Sonoma release and that a bug and compatibility update for Crossover 23 will be issued on the same day that macOS Sonoma is released.
CrossOver 23 is available direct from CodeWeavers and retails for $74. A free trial version is also available.
