I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of video games help with reaction time and peripheral vision. I haven’t seen any studies, but it would be interesting to know if regular video game players have better driving and accident avoidance skills.
Have you seen GTA players?

I have definitely seen studies saying that people who play video games are better surgeons. Surgeons who don't play video games take longer to develop their fine motor coordination to the same level of competence.
Surgeons sometimes claim students who play video games tend to perform much better off the bat than non gamers so there‘s that. I remember an interview a while ago where one claimed he always asks the gamers among the students to demonstrate a technique for the class first because of that.
