I'm wondering if Apple will update bootcamp to support Silicon Macs, I know there are other softwares to download Windows but bootcamp is by far the best, Parallels and crossover can barley run Black Ops 1 but on bootcamp I can run Black Ops 4 with no issue 80ish-fps, So I would love to see in the near future bootcamp supporting Apple silicon macs.

Apple does not need to "update" Boot Camp for Silicon Macs. The new Apple Silicon computers are ARM-based, whereas mainstream Windows is still x86. When Windows releases for ARM-based processors, Apple may take the necessary steps to make it compatible- but for now, your best bet is Parallels (or a similar software) with the Windows for ARM insider program.
bootcamp is not some emulator
bootcamp is a collection of 3 things
1 a driver zip packet with windows drivers for the apple spc. hardware
2 a bootloader which can start macOS or another partition (windows)
3 a tool to partition storage to prepare for windows to be installed on
the new cpu from apple used the ARM cpu architecture where the version of windows microsoft sells rely on the
intel x86/x64 cpu architecture

if windows is mission critical fore you sell the macbook and get one with an intel cpu
I don't know if I've done something wrong but all these youtubers have the same laptop as me and can run gta5, Witcher 3 while getting 60fps. They can run all these powerful games yet I can't run a 10 year old game at 10fps and I have the exact same specs as them. Bootcamp is the only vm that has actual good quality (to me) and it's free.
bootcamp is not a vm (virtual machine) bootcamp is running windows directly on the hardware, which is why it don't work because m1 and m2 cpu are arm based where macs that support bootcamp have a intel x86 based cpu
virtual machines don't really work for gaming because virtual machines don't have access to the 3d features of the gpu so no matter how fast the gpu one have in a virtual machine it's a generic display adaptor lowest common denominator
if your goal is to play windows games sell your apple m1 / m2 mac
Bootcamp supporting apple silicon macs?
