Important to note that this is different than what Codeweavers did and the timing of both their announcements is purely coincidental.

Apple did contribute to the Wine codebase and have their own translation layer.

Performance and compatibility seem to be much better than what Codeweavers showed which is expected given the translation appears to be DXIL to MSIL instead of DX to VK to MS.

The Mac gaming Reddit has a bunch of people posting results

And someone’s already made a tool to simplify running games

This is also a triumph for open source imho because wine is now receiving patches for macOS directly, and it’s a symbiotic relationship that hopefully grows.

Things look very promising.
