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.)

There’s no rule for it. A pro-gamer that blows their wrist at 25 will have different mileage than a casual gamer that just plays a bit of ranked. How much you’re playing matters too since alot of gaming is muscle memory, not just raw reaction time, so if you have a job, you’re probably going to get worst at games.
