VM Workstation can now co-exist happily with Hyper-V mode in the latest (2004) build of Windows 10. They also come with the usual tweaks to improve performance (particularly in the fields of VM operations and file transfers), plus added support for virtual USB 3.1 devices. Instead we will continue to invest in the current shipping versions, and will extend their support periods until December 2022, with new updates starting in October.Both products also gain the ability to run, build, push or pull OCI containers using VMware’s command-line vctl tool alongside the added support for Kubernetes.īoth Workstation and Fusion virtual machines are also now capable of supporting up to 32 virtual CPUs, 128GB RAM and 8GB VRAM. We also wanted to take the opportunity, since we’re so close to VMworld which has a bit of a different schedule this year, is to let folks know that we won’t be releasing a “paid upgrade” for either Fusion or Workstation this year as we often have. Join the Tech Preview Community Fusion and Workstation Fall Release Update We’re going to be keeping the Public Tech Preview active for at least the rest of this year and likely into spring, and so we won’t be pulling in these changes into our fall release, which means Fusion on Apple silicon is effectively FREE for all users for the time being. The scope and scale of this undertaking should not be understated, and the success of this project has been the result of a massive ongoing collaboration from many internal teams working together, entirely remotely as we do in this day in age.

To deliver Fusion for Apple Silicon devices we’ve had to re-evaluate every part of the Fusion technology stack. With more than a year in development, and a few weeks of a successful Private Tech Preview, it’s finally time for us to show the world what we’ve been working on. It is with great pride and pleasure that we announce the public availability of VMware Fusion for Apple Silicon Public Tech Preview!
