For gaming distros latest updates are better as you want all new features and fixes early, but not rolling distros that may constantly break things. For me and a lot others, Fedora is the sweet spot. But in Fedora some tweaks are recommended after installing.

For out of the box gaming experience, Bazzite or Nobara will be a better option as they ship with all the tweaks already made and with all the software required to play games on linux.
