UTM v5.0.8 Highlights​

  • (macOS) DirectX graphics support for Windows: Modern accelerated graphics for Windows 11 is now available on UTM for the first time. The driver is still experimental and games compatibility is currently limited.
  • Vulkan 1.3 graphics support for Linux: Vulkan 1.3 is now supported on Linux guests with VirtIO Venus drivers in Mesa. Additionally, OpenGL 4.1 is supported with the new Apple Core OpenGL backend (macOS only).
  • Snapshots: Save your VM at any point and go back to it later from the new Snapshots tab. Works with QEMU VMs on macOS and iOS 26, and with Apple Virtualization VMs on macOS 27.
  • (macOS) Apple Virtualization on macOS 27: Pass USB devices through to your VM, turn on Secure Boot for Linux, run a VM without saving changes, and let VMs talk to each other with new networking modes.
  • (iOS) Better touch controls: Gestures respond immediately, with new middle-click and right-drag actions and a new drag-to-scroll touch mode.
  • (iOS) iPhone Duo: Fold your iPhone Duo like a laptop, and the bottom half becomes a keyboard or touchpad for your VM.
