Você joga muito videogames?
While the plural exists, the most natural phrasing keeps "videogame" singular when used with "jogar".

Cultural Tip
In Brazil, "videogame" can refer both to the console and to the games themselves. Younger speakers often say "jogo" (game) instead of "videogame" when talking about the activity: "Você joga muito?" If you want to sound more natural, you can drop the noun and just ask "Você joga muito?" Also, remember that "você" is informal but widely accepted in most regions; in very formal contexts you might use "o senhor/a senhora".
