Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

This is too bad to hear. I installed Debian stable and have no issues gaming despite also using NVIDIA hardware at present.
What issues did you have with your games?
Some stuff that works great with Lutris or Heroic on Fedora, just wouldn't even start up on Debian. I tried a couple of things but nothing worked. I thought it might be a new parts issue stable is 2 years old at this point.
I'm going to see if I can first try kernel+mesa backports (after trying the games again just on stable). If that doesn't work I might give testing a go.
