Wine 6.0.1 carries 63 known bug fixes affecting a mix of different games and applications. Among the software benefiting from Wine 6.0.1 are fixes for Adobe products, Skyrim SE, Deer Hunter, The Witcher 3, World of Tanks, and Far Manager, among many other games/apps.

One notable addition with Wine 6.0.1 is CodeWeavers adding support for Wine64 on the Apple M1. CodeWeavers developers continue working on the M1 / Apple Silicon and ARM64 support in general as part of their CrossOver focus for ensuring good support for the latest Apple Macs.
