You could make games for Android using Java. Other than Android app games, other languages such as JavaScript would be more useful. Making a Java game using swing or AWT would be useful for only educational purposes. You won't convince a lot of people to download, extract... run your Java-based game. Installing Java, configuring it... is a little annoying even for software developers. Getting gamers to handle it will be too big a hurdle. Long ago, Java applets were popular but that ended long ago. Java web start used to help run swing applications but that was deprecated and removed years ago too. If you don't care about monetizing the game and want to make them playable on the maximum number of devices, definitely switch to a web-based format using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Not requiring people to install it makes your game available on nearly everything with a screen and Internet access.

Tushar IX-G you can learn java for game development, although it's not the best choice. You should look up the LibGDX framework https://libgdx.com/
