This is taken from Microsoft's site and the link below has more info: The December 2020 release (build 16.44) provides native support for both Apple Silicon and Intel-based Macs. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote are supplied as a Universal macOS binary, where the Mac operating system will dynamically load the most optimal app components for your device. This release of Office includes the latest optimizations for macOS Big Sur, which is the first operating system to support Apple Silicon.
