Crossover vs Parallels for gaming - which one to choose?

[erkanasu]

Hey guys, wondering which method I should invest time and energy on - Crossover or Parallels for windows gaming on an M1 MAX? I'm guessing both will require tinkering and have misc. issues - wondering which one is least painful and supports the most games. Thanks!

Some games run better on Crossover and some on Parallels. Some will not run on Crossover and some not on Parallels. If the same game can run on both it usually runs better on Crossover since Crossover has access to all of your Mac's resources. Parallels can only use half of the RAM or CPU cores. You have to check for yourself which one is better suited for your needs. Both have two weeks free trial. You can also check Applegamingwiki or Codeweaver's compatibility list.
