My eldest became a proficient reader because she was playing Minecraft. Don’t remember exact age when this happened, maybe 6 or 7 (she’s 10 now). Before Minecraft, she would go a word at a time and not really comprehend but once she started playing her reading became fluent within weeks. Had an immediate impact on her performance at school too.

Now she’s into Roblox and I sometimes see her in Roblox studio hacking some Lua (or their version of Lua).
