Elon Musk announced that his company, xAI, plans to launch an AI-created game by the end of 2026, promising it will be high-quality. The announcement sparked a mixed response on Twitter, with many users questioning and even ridiculing the concept of playing a game entirely generated by AI.
Throughout the 2020s, video game developers have increasingly turned to generative AI, mirroring progress in the technology and what’s happening in other fields. In November 2024, Elon Musk announced that his company, xAI, would launch a game studio with the goal of improving game quality.
xAI’s First ‘Great AI-Generated Game’ Coming in 2026, Musk Claims
According to Elon Musk, his AI game studio, xAI, is starting to make headway. On October 6th, he announced on X (formerly Twitter) that they plan to release a significant AI-generated game before the end of 2026. He shared this news alongside a clip of a modern military shooter, created using xAI’s image generation tool, Grok Imagine. The original clip was posted by a Twitter user named DogeDesigner, who is known in the Dogecoin community and rumored by some to be Elon Musk himself.
Gamers Seemingly Aren’t Thrilled With the Idea of an AI-Generated Game
People on social media seem to be reacting negatively to Musk’s announcement about an AI-generated game. The most popular responses to his tweet are either critical or humorous, with many questioning why anyone would want to play a game made entirely by AI. They also made fun of the game’s graphics, calling them uninspired and lifeless, and criticized the weak sound effects. Musk didn’t provide many specifics about the game, only suggesting it would be created using AI. This negative reaction fits a larger trend of gamers being skeptical about the use of AI in game development, even in smaller ways.
Considering how technology stands today, Elon Musk’s claim that a fully AI-created game will be available by 2026 seems very optimistic, if not impossible. While xAI isn’t alone in trying to build games entirely with artificial intelligence, no company has yet released a playable game that’s been well-received by gamers or even tech experts.
Elon Musk has become known for setting ambitious goals and then missing his projected timelines. A prime example is Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which he’s been predicting for years. He’s made similar optimistic predictions about projects like The Boring Company’s Hyperloop, the Tesla Model 3, and SpaceX’s plans to colonize Mars.
