Not if he wants to actually play games with other people. There is too much latency, and too much variance in latency/reliability. Meaning data packets will often either arrive very late, or not arrive at all, to a degree that's not going to work reliably for games. Voice chat will be pretty bad at times, too. Anything that needs to be nearly real-time like that is a nope.

Other things, like signing in, messaging friends, etc., would work OK most of the time. If he's on something fast like LTE or HSPA+, he might even be able to download games or post videos reasonably well.

Source: I have played Destiny with Funkmon back in the dark times when he was using the exact setup you describe. Also, I spent 6 years as a tech for a wireless ISP whose gear was significantly more stable than cellular, but even that stuff didn't do gaming very well.
