English term or phrase: hitbox
Definition from Mashable:
Hitboxes are a developer's way of defining the space around an object — usually one that's animated — that can be hit in real-time. Some objects will have a set of hitboxes that overlap each other, ensuring that no matter how fast the thing is going, the range around its shape is as accurate as mathematically possible

Example sentence(s):
  • Hitboxes are so elemental to games that whether you're conscious of them or not, you're always playing around them, feeling out their shapes and the flexibility they offer. PCGamer
  • If you want to give an attack more “priority” you give it a bigger hitbox. This allows it to beat other moves with smaller hitboxes. Gamecrate
  • Why have we singled out first-person shooters for this feature? Because it’s the genre that contains the most varied hitboxes, and where hitboxes have the most tangible impact on the action. gitconnected

No  Andrés Ureta: Reference link shows a Not Found error. Plus, it sounds like a loan translation, and área de impacto has a wider use in my experience.
