Show Notes
At the 2026 Game Developers Conference, Google and Nvidia showcased generative AI tools for games, but the industry remained skeptical. Googles Gemini AI was used in game prototypes and a mobile title, while Nvidias DLSS five faced backlash for unwanted visual changes. Players and developers express concerns about AIs impact on game quality and authenticity. Despite 52% of game companies using generative AI, only 36% of developers use it daily, mostly for brainstorming and code help. Smaller studios experiment with AI for early ideas, while freelancers fix its errors. Major publishers remain silent, focusing on past hits. Generative AI currently lingers on the edges of game development, with caution prevailing over hype.
