Depends... my left monitor is an utlra-widescreen. Some games look/play great on that one. Other games feel/look better on the other monitor which isn't quite as wide, but physically has more vertical height.

I play on the right. That is also where I tend to keep videos and music open. Left is for general web browsing and the terminal.
I don't game frequently, and when I do it's game on the left. My right screen is a drawing cintiq and has lower resolution, plus is at an angle.
Right monitor, because that one is the only 144hz one i have
I play strictly on my left screen, but I couldn't actually tell you why. The monitors are identical, and it's no more of a strain to look at one over the other for extended periods. Left just feels right to me.
It just feels left you mean. 😆
Game on the right, but I have no choice over it, I might have chosen left if my wall mounted monitor wasn't on the left.
But, the positive is that it takes up no desk space because in the left, it's just air.
Right monitor is 16:9 and VRR, left is a 16:10 monitor my work gave me during covid. So games go on the right.
Right screen just because it happens to be closer to me on my corner desk arrangement.
My main monitor is centered but it is technically on the right. It has a smaller portrait monitor off to the side.
Before I went ultrawide, I used to have my better monitor center, and my extra monitor to the left.
Left screen is for the chord (fucken noons won't get off it), and browser. Right is for gaming because its actually center of the desk.
