Elon Musk's xAI Aims to Revolutionize Gaming with AI-Driven Game Development
Elon Musk's xAI has made significant strides in the gaming sector. The company has hired a lead for video game development and plans to release a 'crazy game' in 2026. Meanwhile, it's also hiring a 'Video Games Tutor' to train Grok, xAI's AI model, in game design and mechanics.
The global AI-in-game-development market is projected to grow exponentially, reaching nearly $58.8 billion by 2035 from a humble $3.2 billion in 2025. This growth is driven by the increasing use of AI in gaming, with 87% of developers now employing AI agents that adapt to players in real time.
xAI's latest hire, a 'Video Games Tutor', will earn between $45 and $100 per hour to teach Grok the intricacies of game design and mechanics. This role underscores xAI's ambition to make Grok a powerful tool for 'poki' development. The average U.S. game developer salary is about $116,250 a year, or roughly $52 an hour, highlighting the competitive nature of the industry.
Elon Musk has announced that xAI will launch a 'great AI-generated game' before the end of next year, further cementing the company's commitment to the gaming sector. With the global AI-in-game-development market booming and xAI's strategic hiring, the future of AI in gaming looks promising.
