The use of artificial intelligence in video games experiences steep growth – at least in quantity. According to the new report of the analytical group, completely human media He uses generative AI about 20 % of all games released in Steam in 2025.The field is a significant leap compared to last year, when it was “only” about a thousand titles. In one year, the number of these games increased by almost 700 %.
At the same time, however, most of these games fall into the category of low bogey or simple content, SO -shovelware SHOVELWARE. They often are products based on well -known templates and are intended mainly for quick income, and not for innovation in the game industryField
Since January 2024, Valve began to demand that the developers impose whether they use AI AK that they serve specifically. Thanks to this, we have specific numbers for the first time. Currently, the Steam catalog consists of 7818 Games with AI, which is about 7 % of the total number of all games available on the platform.
The most common use? Creating visual contentA field of up to 60 % of all reports belong to graphic elements, such as textures, 2D and 3D models, background or symbol design. To a lesser extent, AI is also used to create music, texts, marketing materials or even parts of code.
The report also mentions some of the most well -known examples. For example My summer carwho made 2.5 million copies sold, used generative AI to create paintings in the interior of the house. Nevertheless, the game did not encounter a negative reaction, assuming that players become more tolerant of the reasonable use of AI. The opposite extreme is InsulesWhere artificial intelligence is a directly part of the editor and allows players to generate textures, clothes or objects directly in the game.
