What is a good internet speed for gaming?
Internet speed of 10-25 Mbps download and 5-10 Mbps upload suits most online gaming needs. The recommended internet speed for gaming depends on several factors, including the type of game, the platform, and the number of players involved.

However, if you’re a serious gamer or streamer, you may want to invest in higher speeds to ensure the best possible gaming experience. Remember — these figures apply to the gaming community.

The minimum internet connection speed for gaming:

Download speed — 3 Mbps
Upload speed — 0.5-1 Mbps
Ping rate — Less than 150 ms
The recommended internet connection speed for gaming:

Download speed — 15-25 Mbps
Upload speed — 5 Mbps
Ping rate — Less than 50 ms
If you're unclear about the status right now, you can test your internet speed and get more data.

Starlink has a map of download speeds, latency, and upload speed.

Missouri is at

95-241 Mbps download speed
13 - 25 Mbps upload speed
26-37 ms latency

Those numbers are supposedly from the 20th to 80th percentile of real user data.

Those numbers should also continue to get better and better. Hell look around reddit and you can find people posting there speeds from all over.
Sorry but "speed" doesn't have much to do with it. Speed is a misnomer anyway because it's just as much about capacity (bandwidth) as it is about speed and the primary culprit for online gaming issues is latency, not speed.

Satellite generally isn't great for real-time communication or interactive stuff because it suffers from the laws of physics. The network ingress is much further away from you than any terrestrial connection. Starlink is different (and better) because LEO satellites are closer to the earth, reducing that latency.
