The idea is that the hypervisor would also be signed and provide security guarantees to games to block cheats from working.

Being able to snapshot and restore memory is a pretty common feature across all decent hypervisors. That in and of itself enables most client-side cheats. I doubt they'd bother to provide such a hypervisor for the vanishingly small intersection of people who:

- Want to play these adversarial games

- Don't care about compromising control of hypervisor

- Don't simply have a dedicated gaming box
