Those games are gonna be pretty demanding for the 500 price range I can't think of a device that will play them reliably that doesn't have a decent discrete gpu that will almost always be over 1000.
You'd actually have a better chance buying a second hand ps5/xbox or series s and used ThinkPad.
Infact a series s and second hand thinkpad combo might honestly be the best bang for buck you can get. The thinkpad can easily do emu for most games up to gamecube at least and the console for high end stuff. Well other than final fantasy cos thats ps exclusive atm.
There are second hand ryzen thinkpads you can get with somewhat decent GPUs but i wouldn't recommend it for recent high end titles. Also thinkpad screens look like poo you wanna go for the ones with at least a fhd IPS display.
Also engaging with the second hand market has inherent risks associated with it.
If you want a more detailed recommendation list let me know
