Thanks, got it
Reports are re-verified against Steam and ProtonDB in the weekly sweep. If this page is wrong, it gets fixed.
What does this mean?
Native means there's an official macOS version built to run directly on Apple Silicon, with no extra software needed. CrossOver means there's no Mac build, but the Windows version runs through CrossOver (a paid, supported Wine layer), rated Gold on ProtonDB, which tracks how well Windows games run on the same Wine technology. GeForce NOW is cloud streaming: the game runs on NVIDIA's servers, not on your Mac, so it is shown as a separate way to play, not as Mac compatibility.
