You're going to slay the game! Does this sound natural?

Unnatural
Here in London, we might say (for teenagers, it may be more common) "You're going to kill it/ that game!"

I've never heard this usage (On the other hand, I'm old, so you never know! (笑)).
However, there is a different slang usage for "slay" (unlike the original meaning of "kill"), which means "to overwhelm／impress". It's usually used from the receiver's perspective, "you slay me" as opposed to from the slayer's perspective.
Ex:
A: So, the duck says, "just put it on my bill!"
B: hahaha, you slay me, man! (I'm overwhelmed with amusement at your funny joke).
Interestingly, though I would not say, "I slayed it!" when referring to do something well, "I killed it" does sound fine.
A: How did you do on last night's test?
B: I killed it! (I did exceptionally well.)
There may be age/regional differences, of course...
