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

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.)

Hand-eye coordination is not affected by age generally. But reflexes or reaction times in general can be reduced with age simply due to how your senses can tone down.

Importantly is the word **CAN** since there is no simple rule for this. When your eye sight gets worse reduced reaction time is a must basically since it is depending on sense input. Eye and ear are the most common senses getting worse with age thus limiting one single input into a complex system that is ‘reaction time’
