An overwhelming majority of game developers believe that artificial intelligence will play a “critical role” in the future of quality assurance, according to The State of Games QA report from Modl.ai, which surveyed over 300 developers. Currently, 94 percent of developers use non-AI automation in their workflow, with 39 percent describing their departments as “highly automated” or “entirely automated.” Only 29.7 percent of respondents have worked on a project released without bugs, and 50 percent express concern that QA budgets are not rising fast enough to keep pace with increasing game complexity. Despite advancements, 77 percent of developers admit they did not complete all necessary quality assurance for their most recent release. Looking ahead, 94 percent agree that AI will play a role in video game quality assurance, with 41 percent deeming it “very important” and 30 percent “extremely important.” Additionally, 87 percent believe their studios are prepared to integrate AI technology, though only 18 percent feel fully ready. Modl.ai focuses on revolutionizing game development through AI, including enhancing game testing and modeling player behavior.

The Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is celebrating its 28th anniversary at the Makuhari Messe exhibition center in Tokyo. TGS has successfully expanded its influence post-Covid, showcasing major game developers and indie studios. There is a notable increase in interest in PC gaming, with major Japanese developers like Konami, Capcom, Sega, and Bandai Namco prioritizing PC releases. The trend of simultaneous releases across platforms is growing, as seen with Capcom's "Monster Hunter Wilds." However, the AAA landscape from Japanese studios is contracting, focusing more on remasters rather than new titles. Sega's "Metaphor: ReFantazio" is now featured on Steam, reflecting this shift. Sony is also pivoting towards PC and remasters, with titles like "Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut" and "Horizon: Zero Dawn Remaster" making their way to PC. TGS 2024 highlights several standout titles, including "Sonic X Shadow Generations" and "Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero." In contrast, indie studios are thriving with shorter development cycles and a dedicated Indie Game show at TGS 2024, featuring titles like "Nightmare Operator" and "Platform 8." The visibility of PC gaming at TGS 2024 marks a significant turning point in the gaming narrative.
