That is where Apple's GPTK (Game Porting Toolkit) came into play, and why Whiskey was popular at all. It allows for somewhat seamless interop between Wine and D3DMetal, which is an Apple translation layer from DirectX 11/12 instructions directly to Metal (Apple's Graphics API). Given that the majority of the cycles for video games are consumed by these graphics APIs, having that direct translation layer allows for fairly performant gameplay on Apple Silicon macs.
