在null LARAVEL上调用成员函数update（）

Question

I tried to update specific item but it was error 'Call to a member function update() on null'. I tried to change ->update($data) with ->insert($data) before and it works.

Controller:

public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $this -> validate($request, array(
            'gamename' => 'required|min:3',
            'price' => 'required|int|min:1',
            'genre' => 'required',
            'releaseddate' => 'required|date',
            'picture' => 'required|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,gif'
        ));


        $gamename = $request->input('gamename');
        $genre = $request->input('genre');
        $price = $request->input('price');
        $releaseddate = Carbon::parse($request->input('releaseddate'));
        $picture = $request->file('picture')->getClientOriginalName();

        $data=array('gamename' => $gamename, 'genre'=>$genre, 'price'=>$price,'releaseddate'=>$releaseddate,'picture'=>$picture );

        DB::table('games')->join('genres', 'games.genreid', '=', 'genres.genreid')->find($id)->update($data);

        return redirect('managegame');
    }

View:

<form action="/update/{id}" method="post" id="registerform" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="errorpop{{ $errors->has('genre') ? ' has-error' : '' }}">
            <label for="genre" class="">Genre</label>

            <div class="">
                @foreach($genres as $genre)
                    <option value="{{ $genre->genreid }}">{{ $genre->genre }}</option>
                @endforeach
                @if ($errors->has('genre'))
                    <span class="help-block">
                                        <strong>{{ $errors->first('genre') }}</strong>
                                    </span>
                @endif
            </div>
        </div>

Make sure you got the object

$game = DB::table('games')->
join('genres', 'games.genreid', '=', 'genres.genreid')->where('id',$id)->get();

//make sure you have the desired object.then

  $game->update($data);
