Yes, but just try to download it from them. You have to make an account, agree to all kinds of garbage, and then you still might be stuck in "authorization" like my account is.
They removed the auto-update functionality (even the notification!) from the app, so you have to manually go through their horrendous website to download updates.
It's 10x easier to just search reddit or internet archive for a link to the .dmg.

The auto-update functionality is still there, it just doesn't find anything. (At least this is the case for Workstation; I assume it's similar for Fusion)
