I suggest adding this game as far as I can tell answer is yes*, Unreal Engine 4, SDL2 Environment var(SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland)
and in the future it will use UE5

Factorio added Wayland support with Version 1.1.77.

Added support for Wayland on Linux. To enable it, set SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland in your environment. (thanks to raiguard)

Crusader Kings 2 runs on Wayland using the launch options:

SDL_DYNAMIC_API=/usr/lib64/libSDL2-2.0.so SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland %command%

Run on Wayland natively without any configuration. (Arch linux/Gentoo linux. I haven't tested it on other distributions.)
