CrossOver is an macOS application that allows you to run many Microsoft applications on your Apple Mac without a need for a Windows emulator. Crossover works by translating Windows commands into Mac commands so that you can run Windows software as if it were designed native to Mac.
CrossOver team today confirmed that CrossOver 20.0.2 works on Apple Silicon-based Macs. They confirmed that apps like Quicken, and games like Among Us and Team Fortress 2 worked as expected.
I can’t tell you how cool that is; there is so much emulation going on under the covers. Imagine – a 32-bit Windows Intel binary, running in a 32-to-64 bridge in Wine / CrossOver on top of macOS, on an ARM CPU that is emulating x86 – and it works! This is just so cool. – Crossover team.
