Crosshair X β a custom crosshair on top of any Steam game
Crosshair X is the most popular custom crosshair app on Steam, made by CenterPoint Gaming. It draws your own crosshair over any PC game β even ones that have no built-in crosshair at all or one you can barely see. It launched on June 1, 2020, and has gathered over 41,000 reviews rated Β«Very PositiveΒ». Here at Brawl Games you buy Crosshair X as a Steam Gift: the app lands in your account's library permanently, just like a normal Steam store purchase.
What Crosshair X can do
This is more than a static dot in the middle of the screen. Crosshair X is a full toolkit for players who take aiming seriously:
- Precision designer. Tune the lines, center dot, outline, color, opacity and even animations β build a crosshair that fits your hand and monitor exactly.
- Thousands of community designs. Don't feel like tweaking? Grab a ready-made crosshair from the shared library, with new ones added every day.
- Custom image support. Upload any image and turn it into your crosshair β from a clean dot to a meme, whatever you like.
- Fullscreen support. Through the official Xbox Game Bar the crosshair shows up even in games that block third-party overlays in exclusive fullscreen.
Which games it works with
Crosshair X overlays anything: first- and third-person shooters, battle royales, survival games, tactical and arcade shooters. It's especially loved by players stuck with a bare screen center who want a real point of reference instead of squinting. The app simply paints the crosshair on top without touching the game itself.
How we deliver Crosshair X (Steam Gift)
Delivery runs through a sender bot. We need two things from you: your Steam friend invite link and your Steam account region. Everything else is automatic:
- The bot adds itself as your friend via the invite link β you don't need to accept anything.
- It sends you the Crosshair X gift, usually within a couple of minutes after checkout.
- Once delivered, the bot removes itself from your friends list.
Steam Guard is not required β the gift can be accepted on an account without it. No prior activity or already-owned games are needed either.
Two conditions Steam needs to accept the gift
To keep things smooth, check two things before paying:
- Matching region. Your Steam account region must match the gift region, otherwise Steam refuses it. The gift is available for 46 regions β pick yours.
- You don't own it yet. If Crosshair X is already attached to your account, Steam won't let you accept a second copy. Send it to an account that doesn't have the app yet.
System requirements
Crosshair X runs on Windows. It's a lightweight overlay utility that launches alongside your game and barely touches your system. It's a one-time purchase, not a subscription β the app stays on your account forever.
Quick answers
This is legitimate software from the Steam store, not a cheat: it doesn't read game memory or give a coded advantage β it just paints an image over the screen. Competitive titles with anti-cheat usually expect built-in crosshairs, so if you play ranked, check that game's own rules. For anything about delivery we're around and happy to help.
What else to check out
If you're building a shooter setup, take a look at our pages for games where Crosshair X really shines: Apex Legends, PUBG: Battlegrounds and Rust. A precise crosshair on top of any of them makes aiming a lot nicer.
Why a custom crosshair beats the built-in one
In many games the crosshair is either missing (hello, hip-fire in survival titles) or so thin and colorful that it gets lost against the scene. Crosshair X fixes that for good: you place a bright, high-contrast marker of the exact size and shape you want, always in the same spot and independent of your current in-game weapon. That's great for aim training β your eye gets used to a single point and muscle memory builds faster. You can also scale the crosshair to your monitor's resolution so it looks the same on 1080p and 1440p.
Why getting it as a gift is convenient
Crosshair X on Steam isn't a one-off key string but a real store item, so we deliver it as a Steam Gift. The upside of this format is that the app is officially tied to your account: it appears in your library, updates through Steam and stays with you forever, like any purchased game. You don't enter any code by hand β just provide the invite link and your region once, and the bot handles the rest.
