Is it true that the older you get, the worse you’ll get at video games due to hand eye co-ordination?

Question

I’m in my 40’s and I was just wondering when is the cut off when improvements stop happening and hand eye co-ordination decreases? I assume it does as you get older or is that not so? (I am a Gamer and I enjoy gaming as a means of stress relief and just wondering if there’s been studies saying such.)

I’m 72 and yes hand eye coordination gets worse each year. I still play Ghost Recon Breakpoint solo daily only because of the wide range of difficulty choices making the game easier. Online multiplayer PvP is long gone! My vision for seeing enemy’s on screen is horrible. Still having a good time just can’t compete with you whippersnappers 😊
