Controller
public function users()
{
$videogamesBuilder = VideoGames::with(['plataforma', 'generos', 'categoria', 'numJugadores', 'users']);
$users = DB::table(users)->select('user_id', 'nombre', 'email','rol_usuario')->get();
$videogames = $videogamesBuilder->paginate(4)->withQueryString();
return view('admin.videojuegos.users', [
'videogames' => $videogames,
'users' => $users,
]);
}
Model
class User extends User
{
use HasApiTokens, Notifiable;
protected $table = 'users';
protected $primaryKey = 'user_id';
protected $fillable = [ 'email', 'nombre', 'password', 'rol_usuario'];

public const VALIDATE_RULES = [
'email' => 'required',
'nombre' => 'required|min:5',
'password' => 'required|numeric|min:0',
'rol_usuario' => 'required',
];
}
Migration Videogame

{
public function up()
{
Schema::create('videogames', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id('videogame_id');
$table->string('titulo', 300);
$table->text('subtitulo');
$table->timestamps();

Your trying to implement a many-to-many relationship, please check: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/eloquent-relationships#many-to-many
Just follow the table naming structure and add this method to your User model:
public function videogames()
{
return $this->belongsToMany(VideoGame::class);
}
Afterwards you can query the videogames of an user in your view for each user like:
#foreach($users as $user)
<tr>
<td>{{ $user->user_id }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->nombre }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->email }}</td>
<td>{{ $user->rol_usuario }}</td>
<td>
#foreach($user->videogames as $game)
{{ $game->titulo }},
#endforeach
</td>
#endforeach
