If you’re playing modern games that just released, they often need the newest graphics drivers to run well and look right. It also helps to have the most modern version of apps like Heroic Games Launcher and stuff, but Flatpak has solved that somewhat.
If anyone here games a lot, I’d recommend a more rolling release distro (or the version of Debian that updates packages quickly, forgot its name).
I’ve been gaming on Debian stable for 6-7 years now; works great.

I’ve never had that be an issue in practice. The NV DC drivers cover this need quite well IME: https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers
It’s also the best route I’ve found for setting up CUDA, so two birds, one stone.
