The most seamless way to run Windows software on a Mac without virtualization

Daniel Leblanc — Staff Editor, Developer Tools & Virtualization. Expert in macOS compatibility software and cross-platform productivity reviews.

What is CrossOver?

CrossOver is a Windows compatibility layer for Mac, Linux, and ChromeOS developed by CodeWeavers Inc. It allows users to run thousands of Windows applications — including productivity software, utilities, and AAA games — without installing a full Windows OS or managing a virtual machine. CrossOver is built on the open-source Wine project (Windows API implementation for Unix systems) and is fully optimized for Apple Silicon (M1–M4) and Intel-based Macs.

Key Features

  • Windows Compatibility Layer — run Office, AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop, and 20,000+ apps on Mac
  • Apple Silicon Optimization — native M1, M2, M3, M4 ARM support; no Rosetta required
  • macOS Deep Integration — keyboard shortcuts, Mission Control, copy/paste, Dock support
  • Gaming Support — Steam, Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike, Portal, GTA V and more
  • Wine Open Source Contribution — CodeWeavers actively develops the Wine project (Unix/API)
  • No Windows License Required — run Windows apps without purchasing a Windows OS license
  • Cross-Platform — also available for Linux and ChromeOS

System Requirements

  • macOS 10.14 Mojave or later (macOS 15 Sequoia / 26 Tahoe supported)
  • Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) — native ARM support
  • Intel x86_64 — fully supported
  • 369 MB disk space
  • Internet connection for license activation

Is CrossOver Safe?

Yes. CrossOver is a legitimate application developed by CodeWeavers Inc., a company with 25+ years in cross-platform compatibility software. The version on this site has been scanned and verified — see the Security badge above. SHA-256 checksum is provided for file integrity verification.

PROS

  • No Windows license needed.
  • Strong Apple Silicon compatibility.
  • Large compatibility database.

CONS

  • Not every Windows app runs perfectly.
  • 14-day trial limits long-term use.

What's New v26.1.0

  • [Death Stranding 2 workaround] — macOS users get a vendor workaround so the title can run where it previously failed on CrossOver 26.0.
  • [Unity mouse input fix] — Mouse input is restored in many Unity-based games that regressed after prior macOS or Wine changes.
  • [Quicken Add account window] — The distorted Add account dialog in Quicken is corrected for finance users on Mac.
  • [Battle.net install fix] — Install failures that blocked some users from setting up Battle.net inside CrossOver are addressed in 26.1.0.
  • [Diablo IV and Overwatch on macOS 26.5] — CodeWeavers confirms both titles run on stable 26.1 when macOS 26.5 is installed; earlier CrossOver or OS versions are insufficient.
  • [Diablo II: Resurrected caveat] — Playable with 26.1 + macOS 26.5, but Command-Tab may crash the game; vendor is still investigating.
