I tested the 4GB RAM Surface Go model fairly extensively over the course of a couple of weeks and found that, while it can run some older "modern" titles, the device simply can't cut it when it comes to more intensive games. The 8GB model no doubt fares somewhat better with shooters and other games, but you certainly shouldn't expect to be running the latest AAA games on it.
