Elon Musk's xAI is making an all-AI video game
Elon Musk's xAI is planning to launch an AI-generated game, built almost completely by artificial intelligence, in 2026.
Instead of relying on big human teams, the game's characters, worlds, and storylines will be generated by AI that learns from huge datasets—though human "game tutors" will still train Grok and assist users in the process.
The game will be fully AI-driven
xAI is hiring video games tutors to help train its AI and aims for fully AI-driven design, art, gameplay mechanics, and storytelling.
This goes way beyond current "AI-assisted" tools; here, nearly everything comes from the AI itself.
Some people doubt AI can do this
Some in the gaming world are skeptical about whether AI can really match human creativity or emotion.
Michael Douse from Larian Studios says games need more engaging worlds and real leadership—things he feels only people can provide.
Still, if xAI pulls this off, it could change how games are made in the future.
