Crosshair X vs GameGlass

Crosshair X places a custom crosshair over PC games, including games without their own built-in crosshair. Its designer offers lines, dots, outlines, color, opacity, animations, and image uploads. Crosshairs can react to firing with multi-stage or per-button animations. Players can add PNG or animated GIF overlays and layer text, emoji, or status indicators. Display controls let users select a monitor, save positions for different games, and toggle the crosshair with shortcuts or mouse states. For exclusive-fullscreen games, Crosshair X uses Xbox Game Bar; windowed and borderless games use a separate transparent overlay. Its maker says the app does not inject code, change game files, read or write game memory, simulate input, scan gameplay, or communicate with game servers. Steam Workshop users can browse community designs and publish their own, and crosshairs can be shared by code or exported as image files. Crosshair X runs on Windows. The Microsoft Store listing is free at free, with a free trial available. The Steam version costs 3.99 USD once; the Epic Games Store base game costs 9.99 USD once.

GameGlass uses a phone or tablet as a touch controller for PC games. Its Hub connects a mobile device to a gaming PC and opens access to Forge, sharing and community creations. The service says it is compatible with over 150,000 games. Forge is a visual, no-code editor for creating control experiences or modifying community creations, using components such as buttons, switches, dials and toggles. Interactions use the user's local network. The Hub is available for Windows, Linux and Mac, and web access is available at app.gameglass.gg; mobile apps are offered through major app stores, including Amazon. The free Basic Plan includes two Shards and no ads. GameGlass Pro costs $49.90 a year and includes unlimited Shards, Forge Editor, community and premium content, among other listed features. The Lifetime Pass costs $229, paid once and includes all platform features, though partner content or features may require extra payment. The company dates its start to 2019 and identifies its roots in the Star Citizen community.
