It's possible, as long as the developer optimizes the game concerned to run on 512MB devices. Unfortunately, there are hard RAM limits for any app, even in Windows Phone 8.1. You may have to downgrade the textures, as well.

For instance, if you have a 720p device or above, GTA: San Andreas requires 2GB of RAM to run.

My 768p 920 ran San Andreas with 1 GB of RAM.

Also, it would be safe, but I don't think it would work. It's not that simple as to flip a switch and voila! Everything works!

There are reasons why the 512 MB restriction exists. I haven't really heard too much regarding circumventing it, although I hear its possible, albeit something I don't know if its still possible.
