1 in 5 Steam games released in 2025 use generative AI, up nearly 700% year-on-year — 7,818 titles disclose genAI asset usage, 7% of the entire Steam library

Recent research indicates a 681% increase in the number of games on Steam that acknowledge the use of generative AI, rising from around 1,000 titles in 2024 to over 7,500. Ichiro Lambe, a game developer, noted that the applications of generative AI in gaming include audio elements, narrative generation, marketing materials, and code generation assistance. The use of AI during runtime is also increasing, with examples such as flagging offensive content and generating 3D worlds based on player prompts. Some games featuring AI have received positive reviews, suggesting growing acceptance among players. Notable titles using generative AI include My Summer Car, which has sold 2.5 million copies. Developers are using carefully crafted language in disclosures about AI to reassure customers, and there are concerns about undisclosed AI usage in some games.

Bungie says it’s ‘actively re-recording’ some voice lines for Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate after fans notice one of the game’s best-known heroes suddenly sounds like one of its most notorious villains

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate has launched, and players have noticed a change in the voice of Ikora Rey due to some voice talent being unavailable for recordings since a May update. Bungie has confirmed that characters like Ikora, Orin, and Chioma will have different voices in the new content and are working on future updates to address this. In the meantime, some characters may have temporary voice casting or remain silent in certain languages, with subtitles enabled by default to ensure players do not miss important story elements. Debra Wilson is the new voice actor for Ikora, known for her role as Savathun in Destiny 2: The Witch Queen.
