CrossOver 24 released, allows access to additional Windows games

If you’re looking for more Windows gaming support on your Mac, you’re going to like this.

CodeWeavers on Thursday announced CrossOver 24, the newest version of its Windows compatibility layer for macOS and Linux that allows Mac users to run both productivity apps and games. The newest version includes general fixes to how CrossOver can be used but concentrates on games.

The company offered the following statement:

“For our Mac users, CrossOver 24 includes fixes for many games. Planet Zoo now runs again after the latest game update, the Warframe standalone launcher now works, The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth no longer crashes, Mafia: Definitive Edition now runs, Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition multiplayer works again, and Horizon Zero Dawn and Anno 1800 now work well out of the box. We are continuing to make improvements so that CrossOver is as user-friendly as possible. To that end, CrossOver 24 includes a few highly-requested UI updates. You can now drag and drop executables into CrossOver to either run or install them. We also added the ability to change the directory where your bottles are stored, which is especially helpful for users who want to store large Windows applications on an external drive.”

CrossOver 24 retails for $64, but a trial version is available for free. The software requires macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) or later and an Apple Silicon Mac to install and run.

If you’ve had a chance to try CrossOver 24, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
