Written by Michael Larabel in Google on 14 July 2016 at 06:17 PM EDT. 19 Comments

With Google Play and Android app support hitting Chromebooks it's now possible to run Windows applications/games on Chromebooks via CrossOver For Android.

CodeWeavers confirmed today that it's possible to run CrossOver on Chromebooks now via the Android support. CodeWeavers was even able to install Steam for Windows on the Chromebooks via the CrossOver support.

While CodeWeavers is running this now, they haven't yet released CrossOver for Android quite yet. But if you're interested, learn more via this CodeWeavers blog post.
