Apple M1 and M2 Mac users can now officially download Windows 11 on ARM via Parallels Desktop 18. Windows 11 on ARM does come with limitations when virtualized via Parallels, but most users will be able to game and even run x86 apps with decent performance. Parallels Desktop 18 also several enhancements including the ability to assign up to 18 CPU cores and 62 GB of RAM to the Windows VM in Mac Studios with Apple M1 Ultra SoCs.

Bootcamp is not available on M1/M2 Macs, only Intel-based ones. Parallels (the program Windows just gave their blessing) is how you would run Windows on a new Mac. We don't know if Bootcamp will be brought back, it could be that Apple and/or Microsoft are not interested or that licensing is an issue.

It means you can run a virtualized version of Windows on a Mac via Parallels. You can install Steam and games, however, since it is going through a layer of virtualization the performance on more modern games is likely to suffer.
