With the meteoric rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, many people are wondering: How will AI influence the video game industry? AI has already begun to influence video games in a number of ways, and it is likely to continue to do so in the future.
Video games are a common joy for many, and they are manufactured for almost everyone, regardless of age, gender, interests or preferred gaming platform, with millions of people playing them worldwide. In fact, according to the Entertainment Software Association, in 2020, 65% of American adults played video games, and the global video game market was estimated to be worth over $159 billion.
So, why do we love gaming so much? Well, games are played to reduce stress, connect with others globally and provide a sense of accomplishment (when played in moderation, of course). However, we may begin to see a change in the way games are created and played, thanks to AI technology.
Let’s first take a look at how AI may impact gaming environments and assets. Video games that utilize procedural generation and randomization, such as Minecraft and No Man’s Sky, are able to create unique and randomized environments for players to experience each time they enter the game. Using a combination of pre-made assets and algorithms that generate new content, these games offer players a constantly changing and unpredictable gameplay experience. This not only keeps the game fresh and engaging but also increases its replayability by offering players new challenges and experiences each time they play.
