I have played video games since stumbling across Space Wars in an arcade back around 1970. I played a LOT of games at the arcades during and after college. I had a Magnavox Odyssey for a bit, then got more into home video gaming with a Texas Instruments 99/4A computer followed by a Commodore 64 (for which I had hundreds of games) followed by DOS-based, then Windows-based PCs. When it got to be too much bother to try to keep games running despite Windows and driver updates, I switched over to an Xbox 360, then Xbox One and now Xbox Series X.
Today, I play a PGA Tour 2K23 and Forza Motorsports quite a lot on my Xbox but play both of them in career modes, not in multi-player modes. Every time I've ever tried to play any kind of game online, I find myself absolutely crushed by young players with insane reflexes who seem to play 24 hours a day. Not so fun. I do play a handful of other games but none with any regularity.
