However, it’s worth mentioning that XWine1 is not ready for public consumption for now, but it will be in the following months. The developers behind it stated that the project would most likely end up being open-source, allowing others to contribute and twitch the platform to support other titles.

The developers have also shared a little clip on X, showcasing how XWine1 works. Unfortunately, this platform has no release date yet, but you can follow them on X.
