One caveat is that WSL2 needs Hyper-V, and many anti-cheats won't work with it (many CS:GO anticheats, I think it will be true for many multiplayer shooters).

There have been games whose anti-cheat software incorrectly flagged Hyper-V hosts as being Hyper-V guests and would refuse to launch the game, but I believe they are all fixed.

All my Blizzard games seem perfectly happy to run on a machine that has Hyper-V.

Really? I've been playing for years now with Hyper-V enabled and hasn't been an issue.

I think you can't play inside a VM (like Hyper-V), which is a different story.
