This is very much possible, thanks to advancements in projector technology to make them more accessible for gamers.

Today’s gaming projectors have high colour depth, low input lag and high refresh rates up to 120Hz (or even more).

It offers 96% coverage of Rec.709 and a 6x speed RGBRGB colour wheel that lets you attain a perfect balance between colour accuracy and brightness. On top of all of these awesome features, it also has a short throw, meaning it can project a stunning 100-inch image over a distance of just 1.5m.
