Seems yes, no, and yes, respective;y. But do look around and confirm for yourself. Also see the Apple Arcade package, which lists options for Mac. (All I’ve done here is use DuckDuckGo to search for clients. Also check Steam, etc.

An Intel iMac can also boot and run Microsoft Windows, and can then run Windows games. If you might dual-boot, you will need substantially more storage. Apple is moving away from Intel processors.


Microsoft doesn’t currently have an Arm version of Windows available for purchase for Apple M1 Arm systems, though there is a beta. Game adoption for Windows on Arm is not currently robust, though whether that might change?
