Elon Musk, the famous American billionaire and founder of xAI, announced that his new company is entering the field of game development by establishing a studio based on artificial intelligence.
This announcement came as part of Musk's interaction with a post on the X platform, formerly Twitter, and in response to a user's criticism of modern game studios' orientation towards profit at the expense of creativity and player experience.
Musk responded by saying that many of the major game studios are owned by large corporations, and confirmed that xAI will work to establish a game studio that aims to “make games great again,” as he put it.
Musk has always expressed his love and passion for video games, as he previously stated that he developed his first video game at the age of 12 and sold it for $500.
Musk has expressed his admiration for games like Elden Ring and Diablo IV, and stated in his bio that he is a fan of Polytopia, and that he once beat the game's creator himself.
Musk's interest in games is not limited to testing them, as his company "Tesla" has previously collaborated with games such as Rocket League and Fortnite to add the Cybertruck car it manufactures to those games.
Amid the great enthusiasm for Musk's new gaming studio, details about the project remain scarce, as Musk's announcement was limited to his intention to establish only. However, it seems that the road will not be easy for Musk in light of the control of giant companies in the gaming industry, but Musk is betting on the artificial intelligence technologies developed by his company xAI to revolutionize games and attract players.
On the other hand, press reports indicate that xAI is close to launching an artificial intelligence application similar to the famous ChatGPT application.
