Musk's XAI Studio targets AI-built games by 2026

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, is venturing into the video game industry. They are hiring for a new studio aimed at creating real-time AI-driven games, intending to launch a fully AI-built game by 2026. This initiative marks xAI’s shift to market its Grok chatbot as a consumer product.

Unlike traditional game development, xAI plans to integrate AI at the core of design. As more studios adopt AI tools, xAI's approach could increase demand for AI hardware from firms like Nvidia and AMD.

However, experts caution that while AI can accelerate content creation, it may lack the depth of human-led storytelling. The upcoming year will be crucial for assessing xAI’s dynamic game concept.
