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.)

I’m just past 50, so I’m about the oldest of people who grew up with video games. I’ve always had a little essential tremor that’s limited my accuracy in stressful situations, but it’s gotten worse. My reaction time is probably a bit slower but not too bad, and while my *strategic* thinking is excellent, my snap decision making is not great. But I can’t say that last thing has gotten worse.

Anyway, yeah, I get shaky hands.
