Crosshair X
What it is
Crosshair X overlays a custom crosshair on Windows PC games, including games without a built-in crosshair. Its designer supports lines, dots, outlines, colors, opacity, animations, and uploaded images. Crosshairs can react to firing with multi-stage or per-button animations, while PNG or animated GIF overlays, text, emoji, and status indicators can be added as layers.
Players can select a monitor, save positions for different games, and show or hide the crosshair using shortcuts or mouse states. For exclusive-fullscreen games, the maker says it uses Xbox Game Bar; windowed or borderless games use a separate transparent overlay. The maker also says the software does not inject code, modify game files, read or write game memory, simulate input, scan gameplay, or communicate with game servers. Steam Workshop users can browse thousands of community designs and publish their own; designs can also be shared by code or exported as images. The Microsoft Store plan is free and has a free trial available. Steam costs $3.99, paid once, and Epic Games Store lists a $9.99, paid once base game price. Windows 10 is the Steam and Epic minimum; Windows 11 is recommended.
