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 60 and play casually, I love me some Zelda, I have not found any difference but I was never very good either. Games help you keep some functions longer, but everybody is different. You know the saying… You don’t stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stopped playing.
