📝 Over 70% of Game Studios Already Using AI

A survey by a16z Games highlights the role of AI in gaming for 2024, examining small studios, productivity impacts, and future adoption. Explore trends and challenges in AI integration.

What’s Going On Here?

A16z Games surveyed 651 gaming-industry professionals and found that 73% of game studios are already using AI in some capacity, with 88% planning to adopt it in the near future. Smaller studios (teams of fewer than 20) lead the trend, while company founders are the most optimistic about AI. Artists, however, remain cautious, with only 58% currently using AI tools and 36% expressing concerns about job security.

What Does This Mean?

AI in gaming is still in its early stages but is primarily used for tasks like 3D asset generation, narrative creation, and voice work. Although a majority see productivity gains and reduced costs, some studios report no noticeable improvements. Challenges revolve around AI model accuracy, legal risks, and team acceptance, prompting many studios (54%) to consider creating custom AI models to mitigate risks and ensure consistent results.

Why Should I Care?

For developers and investors, these findings signal growing mainstream acceptance of AI in game creation. Smaller studios, in particular, could leverage AI to stay competitive, given its potential to speed up development and lower costs. However, addressing concerns about job displacement—especially among artists—and ensuring reliable, legally sound AI solutions will be critical for the industry’s long-term success. Players may see more innovative and finely tuned game experiences as AI’s role in development expands.
