xAI has started hiring AI trainers to teach Grok game design and development fundamentals.
The upcoming title may be the first game entirely generated by artificial intelligence.
Musk’s gaming venture will compete with AI-driven efforts from Microsoft and Google DeepMind.
After stepping into the AI business, Elon Musk and his AI startup xAI want to develop a fully AI-generated game by next year. This comes after Musk announced his plans in a post on X. Musk has hinted for years that he intends to enter the gaming sector, and it appears that this may happen shortly.
SurveyThe Tesla CEO also revealed that the game is under development. Speaking of details, Musk said that the future release will be created by xAI Game Studio, a subsidiary that appears to be preparing for huge growth. A recent job posting for an AI trainer specialising in video games adds more weight to Musk’s claims. According to the job description, the successful candidate will be in charge of training Grok, xAI’s conversational AI model, on the principles of game design, mechanics, and development.
Musk has not shared specific details about the game, but the post is consistent with his previous predictions that Grok could eventually generate entire playable games autonomously. What is unknown, however, is whether the future project will be a dynamically produced experience or a more typical game created with AI-powered tools.
Insiders expect xAI to increase employment in game design, AI research, and creative sectors in order to advance the project. Despite the excitement, there is natural scepticism among the gaming community. Creating a “great” game involves intricate storytelling, emotional depth, and player-driven immersion, which AI models have yet to successfully replicate.
Musk’s goals put xAI in rivalry with other tech titans such as Microsoft and Google DeepMind, both of which are investigating AI-assisted game development.
With blockbuster releases like GTA 6 and Marvel’s Wolverine already scheduled for 2026, Musk’s AI experiment could make the following year one of the most interesting in gaming history, especially if Grok truly delivers on the promise of AI-powered entertainment.
