"Musk has founded an AI video game studio called XAI, and says that the Grok-powered team will release a "great" AI-generated game before the end of 2026. He makes this claim in a tweet posted above AI-rendered footage of a nonexistent military shooter that looks like shit. Musk, a man known for making promises he can't keep , may put out some AI-generated slop game in 2026, but is anyone really asking for that beyond his biggest simps?"
""Genuinely, what this industry needs is not more mathematically produced, psychologically trained gameplay loops, rather more expressions of worlds that folks are engaged with, or want to engage with," Douse wrote. "AI has its place as a tool, but we have all the tools in the world, and they aren't compensating for the incredible lack of cogent direction. AI isn't going to solve the big problem of the industry, which is leadership & vision.""
Elon Musk founded XAI and claims the Grok-powered studio will release a 'great' AI-generated game before the end of 2026, posting AI-rendered footage of a nonexistent military shooter that drew criticism for poor quality. Observers question demand for an AI-created title and reference Musk's history of unfulfilled promises. Michael Douse of Larian Studios insists that AI can serve as a development tool but lacks the creative vision required for meaningful worlds and player engagement. Douse emphasizes that the industry's fundamental issues are leadership and coherent direction, not a shortage of technical tools.
