The only exception is GOG.com, which is why I prefer to get my games from GOG. One thing that I hate about most game launchers today is that you need to use the launcher to install and run games that you purchase. The second part of the equation here is the Heroic launcher.

Heroic, a 3rd party open source Epic Games launcher, that supports running games over Wine (and CrossOver) on macOS.

You can see how I’ve gotten Witcher 3 to run on my MacBook here. Since it’s not an emulator, the performance you get off CrossOver is pretty good.

CrossOver basically translates Windows code or instructions into macOS instructions and thus, allowing Windows applications to basically run on your Mac. CrossOver is a pretty amazing piece of software and the team that developed Wine, which is the underlying open source software that CrossOver is based on, is nothing short of geniuses in my opinion. What’s the secret sauce? First and foremost, it’s the CodeWeavers CrossOver, specifically their latest version 21 release which supports DirectX 11 quite well.

CrossOver translates Windows app (and games) instructions into macOS instructions in real-time.You can indeed play Windows Games from Epic Games Store on macOS! If you have been wanting to play games like Rocket League on macOS or perhaps have a whole library of free but mostly Windows-only games you’ve accumulated on the Epic Games Store that you wish you could run on your Mac?
