Yeah, I switched my gaming PC over to popOS and noticed no major issues - steam and heroic just worked as I expected.
Does this mean the games that worked on steam for windows will also work on steam for popOS?
Usually. Proton by Steam (versions of wine tuned specifically for games) makes just about anything run flawlessly with one click to turn it on in the settings and occasionally some fine tuning for particular games like setting it to run a particular version of proton. This works on any Linux distro.
Outside of Steam, and when trying to mod Steam games, it's a lot more hit or miss.
You can run non-steam games through steam to use Proton.
Damn, I didn't know we'd come this far to adopting Linux on gaming machines. Makes me hopeful for the future.
You can check if your Steam games work on Linux in general here: https://www.protondb.com/. PopOS is a noob friendly distribution well adapted for gamers and artists.
