Crosshair — The Aiming Point You Control
A crosshair is the on-screen aiming point a player uses to line up shots in PC games. Crosshair EDGE is a custom crosshair overlay app for Windows that lets you design your own crosshair and use it across virtually all PC games.
What is a crosshair?
A crosshair is the on-screen aiming reticle used in shooters, tactical games, and many other PC games to indicate where the player is aiming. Crosshairs come in many forms — a single dot, a plus, a circle, a chevron, or a layered design that combines multiple shapes. Some games draw their own crosshair, some hide it depending on the weapon, and some don't show one at all.
Common types of crosshair
- Dot crosshair. A single small dot in the center of the screen, minimal and unobtrusive.
- Plus / cross crosshair. Four short ticks around a center point — the classic FPS reticle.
- Ring or circle crosshair. A thin outlined circle, useful around an in-game weapon reticle.
- T-shape crosshair. A plus with the bottom segment removed, popular in tactical shooters.
- Layered custom crosshair. Multiple shapes stacked together — for example a dot inside a plus inside a ring.
In-game crosshair vs custom crosshair
An in-game crosshair is controlled by the game itself. Its shape can change weapon to weapon, hide while sprinting, or be missing entirely. A custom crosshair overlay is drawn on top of the screen by a separate Windows app, so the same crosshair stays exactly as you designed it across every game and every weapon.
How to get a custom crosshair on PC
- Install a custom crosshair app for Windows such as Crosshair EDGE.
- Design your crosshair — choose a shape, color, outline, opacity, and size.
- Save it as one of 20 presets, then cycle presets with F3 in game.
- For best results, run games in borderless fullscreen, windowed fullscreen, or windowed mode.
Crosshair EDGE — a custom crosshair overlay for Windows
Crosshair EDGE is built specifically for this use case: a transparent overlay that draws your custom crosshair on top of any Windows game. Up to 9 layers per preset, full HSV color control, 20 preset slots, Game Auto-Switch per executable, a built-in Bullet Counter, Steam Workshop browsing and uploading, and Steam Cloud sync.
It is overlay-only — it does not inject into games, does not read or write game memory, and does not modify game files. That is why it works as a crosshair overlay for any game on Windows without per-game integration.
Available on Steam
Crosshair EDGE is available on Steam for $5.99 USD. View it on Steam and check the Crosshair EDGE trailer to see the editor and overlay in motion.
