There's no question about the use of AI in game development becoming more prevalent. In fact, real devs are even losing their jobs because some studios prefer working with AI than real people. Due to the player backlash. Steam has mඣandated that on the game's page. To no one's surprise, the number🦩 of games that have done so this year has dramatically skyrocketed.
The ꦰAlters Not Disclosi🔜ng AI Usage Is An Ill Omen Of Things To Come
If studios can just ignore rules about disclosing AI, what 🔯comes next?
According to a report by , around 1,000 games disclosed the use of generative AI last year, while the num🌞ber has shot up by almost 800 percent to 7,818 games in 2025. As things stand, seven percent of the entire Steam Library uses generative AI in one form or ano🌼ther.
Games Using Generative AI Have Significantly Increased
The report also revealed what these developers are using generative AI to create. 60𝓡 percent of the disclosures used AI for visual asset generation. Characters, backgrounds, textures, basically anything you can see in the game. Audio generation was the ne🅷xt big slice, with devs using generative AI for voiceovers and music.
Lower on the rung, some games used AI for narrative purposes or just general text, like the ones found in item descriptions or other flavour te𓂃xt in the game. A small portion of this was also used for marketing purposes like descriptions and banners. And lastly, AI is also used for assisting with code generation.

This is what happens when you're AI brainrotted.
However, there are also some unique uses b𝄹y games like Comedy Night, which uses AI for content moderation. Games like Nyric and Bitmagic Mini 🍌use it to create player prompted worlds.
Perhaps the most popular game that uses generative AI during runtime is InZoi. It uses AI to live-generate text, images and sound effects, as well as m🐼aking "game mechanics decisions in real time". Considering InZ෴oi has sold an estimated 500,000 copies, the use of AI is not really affecting purchasing decisions by much.
The report noted some of the highest-selling games that have disclosed 🍰the use of AI, with My Summer Car being the biggest with an estimated 2.5 million units sold.
