As expected, Wine 11.0 stable was officially released today. This is a big step forward for this open-source software to run Windows games and applications on Linux and other platforms. Wine also serves as the basis for Valve's Steam Play (Proton) that has been critical to the recent successes of Linux gaming.

Wine 11.0 brings NTSYNC support when running on recent versions of the Linux kernel, the new WoW64 mode is stable, exclusive full-screen mode support, better Wine Wayland driver support, Vulkan improvements, and various other gaming enhancements like better joystick and gamepad support.
