Also being a cancer survivor, my humour is dark, you have been warned.

Including Nintendo holding off on price increases, Bitmagic’s AI-driven game engine (and Civilisation clone), Sony's AI podcasts, and the ridiculously overblown response to Genie 3.

From this list... I feel very strongly about:
1. AAA Studios Will (Quietly) Double-Down on Gen AI (they don't know how else to be profitable)
2. PC and Console Gaming Will Outpace Consumer Budgets, and Players Will Blame AI (PS5 Pro - $750🙄)
3. On-Device (Generative) AI Will Surge (costsss!!!)

We're kicking 2026 into high gear with a newsletter issue on predictions for AI in the games industry this year.
It covers the big issues we expect to see in the next 12 months. Including a prediction of 7000 AI-tagged games on Steam - which is not great.

You can see the difference in writing skills in this! While @tommy.aiandgames.com has paragraphs on why he loved a game. I had a hard time coming up with 3 lines. 😅 How do you keep saying it was a fun game in different words?

So @shraddhagupta.bsky.social and I were discussing today how views on @aiandgames.com this year are no doubt lower not just because of YouTube being shit, but we covered more niche projects.
Our videos on Trepang2 and Blood Typers had the lowest views but glad to see viewers check those games out.

Journalists are not responsible for finding and reporting on every indie game out there. But making an effort to dive into Steam/itch.io/game dev posts on Bluesky and report on cool stuff that could benefit from the extra traction and spotlight every now and again can make a huge difference.

The release of Arc Raiders has raised significant concerns about the ethics of utilising generative AI in a AAA game. It’s important we understand that for whatever gains AI delivers, who is losing out, and what impact does that have on the industry?
