Built different
Not a general compatibility layer. Every game gets its own custom setup.
Per-game optimization
Each game in our catalog has its own profile — custom Wine settings, pre-compiled shader caches, and tested fixes. What took you hours to figure out, RIFT does automatically.
No stutter. No setup.
Shader caches are pre-compiled and downloaded before you even hit play. First launch feels like the hundredth.
Your whole library, one place
RIFT connects to Steam and Epic automatically. Every game you own shows up — even the Windows-only ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to own the game already?
Yes. RIFT runs games you already own on Steam or Epic. We don't sell game licenses.
Will online multiplayer work?
Singleplayer games work great. Online multiplayer is blocked by anti-cheat on most competitive games — we're transparent about this on every game page.
Is this legal?
Yes. RIFT uses Wine, an open source compatibility layer. Same technology CrossOver has sold commercially for years.
Which Macs are supported?
Apple Silicon only — M1, M2, M3, M4 and all Pro/Max/Ultra variants.
How is this different from CrossOver?
CrossOver is a general solution. RIFT optimizes every game individually — pre-compiled shaders, custom settings, tested fixes. Less work for you, better performance per game.
