    1.1- VMs are not designed to run games, DirectX might work but you won't be able to play a game like BeamNG with it.
    1.2- Softonic sucks, use the official Virtual Box website instead.
    2- You can try Wine/CrossOver on your Mac to run Windows applications.
    3- If it doesn't work, install Windows.

    Without knowing the hardware components of your laptop and if your hardware, the bios or Mac OS even supports it, it is not all to uncommon to passthrough the gpu to a virtual machine to eg play games that are not functional on the host. If you are knowledged about virtualization then you could attempt to look into it. If you are not, then I RECOMMEND NOT TO TRY IT. You could endup manipulating your host system and/or hardware so much that you render your laptop inoperable.

    See this post on the LTT forums. I don't know if you still need the dev beta.
    Also, didn't Apple include this into MacOS? Wasn't it called Rosetta or something like that?
