We’re excited to announce that CrossOver Preview is now available to all users with a current CrossOver license. This is your chance to experience cutting-edge features before anyone else, bringing new enhancements to Windows apps and games on macOS and Linux. As a member of the Preview Crew, you’ll help us perfect the next release by providing valuable feedback on any glitches you encounter along the way. It’s a win-win: you get the latest features faster, and we get your insights to make CrossOver better than ever. Think of it as "snitches find glitches".
