Grand Theft Auto VI Will Not Use Any GenAI

Generative AI has develop into a hot-button matter inside sport improvement, particularly with Google’s experimental Venture Genie, which has seen plenty of sport studios see shares drop, one such studio is even Take-Two Interactive. However, whereas AI itself is used inside instruments, there may be all the time a human behind the creativity and use of stated instruments inside Take-Two and Rockstar Video games.

Talking to GamesIndustry.biz, CEO Strauss Zelnick confirms that whereas they’ve been “enthusiastic” because the starting, and machine studying and synthetic intelligence has all the time been used, it might’t beat the human contact, and he can’t think about it is going to change. He asserts that Grand Theft Auto VI, which is supposedly poised to launch in November 2026, makes use of zero generative AI. The sport’s world — and Rockstar as a complete — are “handcrafted” and “constructed from the bottom up.”

“On the subject of AI, I’ve been enthusiastic because the very starting. This firm’s merchandise have all the time been constructed with machine studying and synthetic intelligence. We’ve really all the time been a pacesetter within the area, and proper now we’ve tons of of pilots and implementations throughout our firm, together with inside our studios. And we’re already seeing situations the place generative AI instruments are driving prices and time efficiencies.

That stated, do I feel instruments by themselves create nice leisure properties? No, there’s no proof that that’s the case and it received’t be the case sooner or later. Particularly close to GTA 6, Generative AI has zero half in what Rockstar Video games is constructing. Their worlds are handcrafted. That’s what differentiates them. They’re constructed from the bottom up, constructing by constructing, road by road, neighborhood by neighborhood. They’re not procedurally generated, they shouldn’t be. That’s what makes nice leisure.”

Principally, this reads because the mum or dad is aware of AI as a instrument that may assist slightly than one thing that may change a task.
