Parallels Desktop, the popular virtualization tool for macOS, released version 19.3 of the tool on Friday, bringing several new features, including improved support for Windows games and a new clipboard sync mode.
Parallels Desktop 19.3 brings improved Windows gaming support, bringing fixes for several games, including Genshin Impact, Rise of Kingdoms, and Dark Souls II.
Pro and Business users will appreciate that Parallels Desktop now provides a new clipboard sync mode that makes copying and pasting between the Mac and virtual machines more flexible. Users can choose to enable copy and paste from Mac to Windows and vice versa, only from one way to the other, or completely disable clipboard sync.
