CodeWeavers Rolls Out DirectX 12 for Macs
Hey folks, buckle up! CodeWeavers just dropped a game‑changing note: DirectX 12 will now run on macOS thanks to their CrossOver tool. That’s right—Mac users can finally tap into the sweet, buttery performance of DirectX 12 without hopping onto a Windows machine.
What’s CrossOver?
Imagine a magic bridge that lets Windows apps float over to ChromeOS, Linux, and Mac like peas in a pod. CrossOver does just that by translating the Windows API into your platform’s native language. It’s been the go‑to for gamers and power users who need Windows goodies on non‑Windows machines.
Why You’ll Love the Upgrade
Up until now, CrossOver only played the DirectX 11 tune. While that was decent, DirectX 12 brings:
- GPU & CPU harmony—the graphics card and processor dance together with minimal friction.
- Higher efficiency—fewer hiccups, more frames, and smoother gameplay.
- Better overall performance—faster loading scenes, sharper textures, and fewer crashes.
What This Means for You
– If you’re a Gen X coder craving those classic Windows games on your MacBook, the wait is over.
Next Steps
Head over to the CodeWeavers website, grab the latest CrossOver version, and start loading those Windows apps. It’s as easy as pouring tea, only this time the tea is the vibrant, high‑FPS graphics you’ve been craving.
So, say goodbye to “compatibility headaches” and hello to smoother, more powerful gaming right on your Mac. Happy gaming, and may your CPU never feel cold during a battle!

CodeWeavers has announced that support for DirectX 12 will be rolled out title‑by‑title, starting with the beloved Diablo 2 Resurrected. That means fighting demons on a Mac will finally feel like a native experience, not a stubborn layered workaround.
