šŸ“ 7% Percent of Steam Games Use AI

An analysis by Ichiro Lambe reveals that over 7,800 games on Steam now disclose generative AI use, highlighting a steady increase in AI-assisted game development.

Whatā€™s Going On Here?

As of mid-2025, 7,818 games on Steam (about 7% of all titles) disclose the use of generative AI, a dramatic increase from just 1.1% in early 2024. Nearly 1 in 5 new games released in 2025 use some form of genAI, primarily for development and creative tasksā€”especially visual asset generation.

What Does This Mean?

AI is becoming a mainstream production tool for indie and mid-tier developers. Itā€™s commonly used to generate art, voice, code, and marketing materials, streamlining dev workflows. However, runtime AI integrationā€”where AI affects gameplay liveā€”is still rare and not commercially proven. Larger studios are largely staying away, due to community pushback and brand risk.

Why Should I Care?

AI isnā€™t the futureā€”itā€™s already here. If youā€™re a dev, publisher, or platform, understanding how AI tools are being quietly integrated into content pipelines is critical. Expect more devs to adopt genAI behind the scenes, especially as disclosure rules tighten and tool quality improves. Those who leverage it strategicallyā€”without overrelyingā€”can cut costs, speed up production, and remain competitive without alienating their audience.

āœļø Reviews of the Week

Step into an intense battlefield of a fast-paced FPS followed by a nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG in our two featured reviews:

Shatterline is an ambitious FPS that blends the intensity of roguelike PvE with fast-paced PvP, offering something unique for players looking for a fresh experience. While the game currently faces challenges, such as occasional bugs, cross-region latency, and a relatively small player base, itā€™s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by more gamers.

MapleStory N truly feels like a blast from the past, bringing back the nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG gameplay while weaving in modern web3 integration. Sure, there are some areas that could use improvements, like onboarding accessibility and loot collection mechanics, but the gameā€™s strengths shine through.
