Have you

A: Have you played CS:GO?
B: Yes, I have.

Here I'm answering with "I have" because the question was asked in present perfect and not because the situation is important to the present?

The short "tag answer" just repeats the form of the verb in the question as posed. It would sound very odd to a native speaker if the short answer did not. Of course, you can answer either in the positive or negative, but the form is the same.
