VirtualBox recommended versions

The recommended VirtualBox version is 7.0.26.

For Windows 10/11, it is included with the Genymotion Desktop installer for Windows, but you can also download it separately from virtualbox.org.

Using VirtualBox 7.1 or higher is not recommended - see Can I use VirtualBox 7.2 or 7.1 with Genymotion Desktop? for more details.

VirtualBox hypervisor is not available for Mac M series.

macOS and Linux

QEMU on macOS and Linux is more compatible and provide better performance than VirtualBox. For this reason, it is now the default hypervisor. If you have been using VirtualBox on Linux or macOS previously, we strongly recommend switching to QEMU hypervisor if possible.
