If you want to run Windows game on your Mac, you’ve so far had two options – the free Whisky app, and the paid CrossOver one. Sadly, but understandably, Whisky is now going away … If you want to run general Windows apps on your Apple Silicon Mac, you can do so using VMware Fusion Pro or Parallels Desktop. But if it’s Windows games you want to run, then that’s a far more demanding business, and most people have opted for the more specialist Wine-based apps Whisky or CrossOver. Whisky had the ad

Whisky, a gaming-focused front end for Wine’s Windows-compatibility tools on macOS, is no longer receiving updates. As one of the most useful and well-regarded tools in a Mac gamer's toolkit, it could be seen as a great loss, but its developer hopes you'll move on with what he considers a better option: supporting CodeWeavers' CrossOver product.

The developer of Whisky recently announced that the project will no longer be actively maintained. Also known as WhiskyWine, Whisky is a user-friendly frontend designed to run Wine's compatibility layer on

I lost interest in the project. Running it is incredibly time-consuming, and as I'm still a student and also not being paid for work on Whisky it becomes hard to justify working on it if I no longer enjoy it. Whisky, in my opinion, has not been a positive on the Wine community as a whole.
