From the way you've stated it, it looks like you've partitioned an SSD. If so, you should have each OS on it's own SSD since adding a partition degrades the life of an SSD. That being said, why not just install the game into the OS'es directory? In retrospect people with dual booting system's have one OS to do productivity chores while the second OS is for recreation/games.

it may depend on the game. some programs install to a specific OS so if you try to run a game that was configured for windows 10 then it may not work or be unstable
