Os gaming compatibility

I was wondering if I would be able to run games like Skyrim and the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt on Ubuntu.

You'd have to investigate each game and see if there is a Linux version.
Failing that, see if they would run (badly) under WINE.
Failing that, no.

If you look on the steam store and hover over "games" from the main page, at the bottom of the drop down menu there is a section called "browse by platform". If you click on "steamOS + Linux", it will only show you games that will work on Linux. You can use this list to figure out whether or not Skyrim and Witcher 3 work on Linux, as well as any other steam game.

For the short version, from this list, we find that neither the Witcher 3 nor Skyrim have a Linux version available on Steam. However, there could also be versions for other platforms that are for some reason not offered on Steam, but I don't know if there are or not.
