When you load a game, it enters system memory (or at least, the assets deemed necessary to run it). Much faster than any drive, and the game's not really running "on" the hard drive.

It will load faster if the game was stored on the NVMe driver as opposed to the hard drive. Though given how large most games are nowadays, the cons of taking up all of your NVMe storage with game files compared to the potential (sometimes minimal) gains in load times is not worth it. 

 

_{Also as mentioned above, that's not how things work.}

will it only affect the load times only or the whole game play?

You won't lose fps by running from a hard drive. There are rare cases where stuttering is caused by difficulties loading from a hard drive vs SSD but that's not how games are designed in general, and a game that runs poorly on a hard drive is just a bad game

i guess one more question,  if you're running games that have a hugh multiplayer content like COD Warzone,will it still run the same compared to playing a single player game

Not really, that's almost entirely the CPU's job
