What if the future of gaming wasn’t made by humans? Musk’s xAI is setting its sights on AI-powered game development.
Elon Musk wants to make gaming great again—and, of course, he’s doing it his way. His AI company, xAI, is launching a game studio to take on an industry he claims is suffocating under corporate control.
The goal? AI-generated games that could change everything. But is this the next gaming revolution or just another megalomaniac Musk project? Here’s everything about the latest Elon Musk news.
Musk’s Mission
Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, is officially setting up a game studio. While details remain scarce, Musk has teased that the project will focus on AI-generated games, potentially reshaping the industry. A recent photo of a small xAI developer team surfaced online, fueling speculation about what’s to come. Whether this is a genuine revolution or just another one of Musk’s grand ideas remains to be seen.

Musk has made it clear why he’s doing this—he believes gaming has lost its way, dominated by massive corporations and filled with what he calls “woke gaming.” A few months ago, he slammed modern studios for being creatively stale and too focused on corporate interests, arguing that the industry needs a fresh start. Now, with xAI’s new game studio, he’s betting that artificial intelligence can do a better job than today’s developers.
Sure, if you're a developer, Musk's actions are pushing towards replacing you with AI, leaving you jobless after you first had to go into debt because of your education. But hey, at least the soulless AI games don’t have trans people in them, so cheer up, I guess?
Replacing woke with robots is something Musk also tries with his family. But since he cannot bear robots, he is only replacing his trans daughter with a robot named child called X Æ A-Xii.
Musk’s Lifelong Gaming Obsession
Elon Musk’s history with video games goes way back—long before xAI’s latest venture. In 1984, as a teenager, he developed and sold his own game, Blastar, a simple space shooter that showcased his early passion for gaming. Decades later, he’s still making headlines in the gaming world, not just for his opinions but also for controversy. Recently, Musk was accused of unfairly reaching the number one spot in Path of Exile’s global rankings, with many suspecting that he didn’t earn it himself.
It’s highly likely that the studio will utilize Elon Musk’s AI, Grok. Currently available on X, Grok runs on a supercomputer powered by 200,000 GPUs. By 2026, Musk plans to scale this up to a staggering 1,000,000 graphics cards, pushing AI capabilities even further.
As AI improves, animations will obviously become more and more human-like—similar to Mark Zuckerberg recently, though for legal reasons, that's just a correlation and not causation.
