in short, no there is no way to upgrade (replace the existing GLIBC with a newer version).
What's needed here is a "compatibility" package that contains everything to make apps that need GLIBC 2.27++ work, in some "out of the way" location where it doesn't interfer with the regular apps, and then we need wrapper scripts.
or, switch to tumbleweed...

Hello fellow chameleons and happy new year everyone,
I use openSUSE Leap 15.2 for gaming. And since the new Ubuntu release more and more titles fail to start because they require a newer GLIBC version than openSUSE provides (2.26).
Is there a way to upgrade it somehow without breaking all the other applications?
I would have considered openSUSE TW but I like the stable part of the system for work and stuff.
Cheers, Bernd
Switching to TW means that you run the risk of instability, dolphin crashes, system hangs due to heavy network traffic and heavy use of other interrupts, flickering of screens are just the latest of these pesky annoyances. Certainly since the introduction of kernel 5.9.x series and latter, TW is not really stable anymore. Network issues, system hangs and screen flickering can be avoided by using kernel 5.8.15. Kernel 5.10.x suffer the same issues. Alas, switching in due time to 15.3 will probably also no solution, given the track records of leap 15.x series using antiquated - but stable - versions of core libraries. However, TW will become more stable over time when the recurring seasonal (winter) influence of instability fades away again. -- Frans. -- A: Yes, just like that A: Ja, net zo Q: Oh, Just like reading a book backwards Q: Oh, net als een boek achterstevoren lezen A: Because it upsets the natural flow of a story A: Omdat het de natuurlijke gang uit het verhaal haalt Q: Why is top-posting annoying?
