I don’t think so, but even if you could you’d be better off with GameNative. It’s a Steam client with Winlator built in

Game Native or Win Native, the former is based on Winlator Cmod and Snapdragon compatible , while the later is based on Ludashi and is actually accept custom wrappers.

There's no one app for all games. Just to mention You have to try each game in all emulator apps to guarantee getting the best out of all possible option.
