Really curious what kind of problem requires 100.000s of DB servers, and what database system is actually capable of such massive horizontal scaling? Are you able to provide any specifics? I imagine that typically a single instance can serve at least 100-1000 concurrent users, meaning you have about 10 to 100.000.000 concurrent users on the system? Since you mentioned gaming I assume it's a massive multiplayer-game like Fortnite?
