My [28/F] husband [28/M] plays video games non stop and I’m starting to feel lonely in the relationship

My husband and I have only been married for 6 months but have been together for 5 years and living together for most of that time. My husband loves to play PC games with his mates all the time. He works a 9-5 comes home plays games until he comes to bed in the early hours of the morning when I’ve already fallen asleep. On the weekends he plays all day. He doesn’t do many duties around the house and I try to give him one job to do (e.g. a round of washing) before getting on games but he usually doesn’t do it saying that he has to get on now because everyone else is on. I can understand wanting to play games for enjoyment and to relax but I’m starting to feel really lonely. I feel like I hardly see him even though he’s in the house and he also never wants to talk about anything. Honestly the last proper conversation we had that I can recall was on Saturday and it’s now Thursday. I spend my weeknights and weekends alone watching Netflix, reading and cleaning. I don’t know how to broach the subject of his gaming or if people think it’s not a serious problem? Every time I try he just has the argument “well your lucky I don’t spend my time out drinking”. I don’t know what to do please give me some advice.

TL;DR! My husband plays videos games non stop, I’m starting to feel lonely in the relationship. How do I broach the subject?
