No. Game servers usually want high clock speed.

You’d just use the VPS as a proxy with a publicly accessible IP, and tunnel the connection back to your home. That would add latency that might be undesirable for a game, but maybe not.

Unless you're playing something like a turn based game, adding latency/hops is almost never desirable. Every multi-player game that I play is latency sensitive (and I don't play FPS games.)
