Public Steam disclosure research25,994 disclosures tracked
Where do games disclose AI use?
Search developers’ Steam disclosures, compare classified AI use across
games, and follow recorded changes.
This index adds cross-game classifications and statistics to
statements published on individual store pages.
Groups reflect automatic analysis of public disclosures; mature records are excluded. These counts do not measure AI use across all of Steam.
Missing or unclear statements cannot establish whether a game uses AI.
AI usage has been very light and, in my opinion, the correct/optimal use of AI.
AI has been predominately used in the form of a chatbot efficiency tool. I've used it to troubleshoot matchmaking logic flows, I've pasted blocks of text for it to clean up readability or catch spelling errors, I just asked it for the quickest way to change images to grayscale in MS Paint as I was creating Steam Achievements. Things like that.
I have hired an artist that claims he does not use AI, though I admit I cannot completely verify that. The hero image and some title art was developed by him. All sprite work in the game itself was made by humans. Music was pulled from various places. My brother-in-law created some songs and did not use AI. Other tracks and sound effects were pulled from free-use websites that did not make any AI disclosures.
Really truly, the heart and soul of this game is for humans made by humans. AI has been used, but only as the tool it is meant to be, not as the replacement of human creativity it is slowly elbowing its way into.
Some of the images and in game models and sounds are created using AI to speed up the development process and allow focus on core gameplay elements.
All elements are reviewed by devs.
No AI is running or applied during gameplay.
The development process of this project involved the use of advanced digital synthesis and generative tools to assist in the creation and curation of certain audio assets. These tools were utilized to enhance the thematic consistency of the soundtrack and to supplement the creative workflow. All final assets have been reviewed and integrated to ensure they meet the quality standards of the studio.
AI-generated images and audio in the default example project, used for demonstration purposes only. It will be fully replaced with real art in one of the next updates!
GenAI was used for the generation of limited in-game and store page artwork. I am actively seeking an artist open to minor projects to replace AI content.
Some images in the game use AI.
The Spanish - Latin America, Portuguese - Brazil, Portuguese - Portugal, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish - Spain, Korean, Italian, French, German versions was translated using AI.
We used AI to generate initial music tracks, concept art, and temporary translations into some languages.
All materials were then thoroughly edited, reworked, and finalized by humans.
Nothing went straight from the generator into the game.
Certain pre-generated visual assets in the game and store materials, such as some icons and background artwork, were created with the assistance of generative AI during development. All such assets were reviewed, curated, and integrated by the developer. The game does not generate AI content during gameplay and does not use live external AI services.
This game uses generative AI-assisted tools in a small amount of non-core content, such as certain event illustration backgrounds, world map event displays, and some promotional materials used on the store page.
The core content of the game, including gameplay design, combat systems, character design, primary visual presentation, and programming, has been manually created and refined by the developer. AI-generated content is used only for supplementary visual purposes and does not affect the core gameplay experience.
Scope: Pre-generated 2D visual content only. Some visual assets use AI-generated source images created from developer prompts, while other visual assets come from licensed art packs. These assets are selected, composited, cropped, and edited by the developer for use in the game.
No runtime AI: The game does not generate any content during gameplay.
Guardrails: Players cannot generate or upload content in-game. AI-generated images are manually reviewed before use, and license records are kept for third-party art packs used in development.
During the development process, we utilized generative AI to assist in creating preliminary assets for backgrounds, characters, UI concepts, as well as initial drafts for music and video elements. All related assets were subsequently refined and manually adjusted by our professional art, sound, and video teams to ensure they align perfectly with the game’s unique artistic style and meet our high-quality standards.
The game uses AI-generated assets such as pre-rendered textures and background images to enhance the visual atmosphere. These elements were created with AI tools but are not generated dynamically during gameplay.
This game uses generative AI tools for the creation of some non-gameplay content, including portions of promotional artwork, visual concepts, and certain localized translations.
All gameplay systems, programming, game design, balancing, and the final integration of assets are created and curated by the developer. AI-generated content is reviewed, edited, and refined before being used in the game or store materials.
Generative AI was used to assist in the creation of certain game art assets, such as textures and UI elements. These assets were further refined and polished by our internal development team to ensure visual quality and consistency within the Unreal Engine environment.
This game includes limited use of AI-generated voice acting for background TV dialogue. All core gameplay, art, and story content were created by humans.
AI handled the code, all non-English translations, and part of the 2D art.
I made all the 3D art, designed the game, and wrote the English text.
I'm a solo artist developing this game by myself.
Text in the game and its promotional materials is machine translated.
No code or graphic assets in the game itself, or its promotional materials, have been generated using machine learning algorithms.
Generative AI (LLM) was used to assist in translating in-game text.
Additionally, AI tools provided assistance in writing, optimizing, and debugging source code.
This game uses generative AI for its multi-language localization to provide immediate support for French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Korean. While we strive for accuracy, some linguistic nuances may vary.
Generative AI was used exclusively for creating marketing visuals (Steam capsules). All game content—including code, 3D models, environments, and gameplay—is an original, hand-developed creation.
EXD was created by a small independent team over the course of more than three years of development. 99.99% of its content was made entirely by hand, including real-world objects that were physically sculpted and later digitized to be brought into the game world.
A very small number of assets (~30 out of more than 27,000 total) were created by our artists with the help of generative AI tools.
During development, this game used generative AI tools to help brainstorm, expand, and polish narrative and dialogue text, and to assist with in-editor organization in the development stage (for example, using novel/story-related plugins to structure plot outlines). All such material was reviewed, rewritten, and unified by the team; the final in-game text is based on the version approved by the team.
If a game build includes dialogue or text generated in real time by a large language model (for example, online responses from a third-party AI service), we will update this disclosure with the specific scope when that feature goes live. In the currently public version, the experience is primarily based on pre-written, human-reviewed story content.
We did not use generative AI to replace basic fact-checking for historical subject matter; statements involving history and historical figures remain guided by design intent and human oversight.
Generative AI was used as a supportive tool to enhance the visual details of character portraits and a specific in-game interactable item. Additionally, AI-assisted technology was utilized to refine multi-language translations to ensure linguistic accuracy for global players, and AI-generated voice technology was used for the audio narration in the main teaser video.
This game uses generative artificial intelligence tools only during development to create certain visual and audio assets. All content experienced by players is pre-rendered and reviewed, with no automatic real-time generation during gameplay.
Some pre-generated visual assets used in the game and its store/marketing materials, including certain splash images and UI icons, were created with the assistance of generative AI tools. These assets were integrated as pre-generated content during development. The game does not use live-generated AI content during gameplay and does not connect to external AI services while running.
As a micro independent team, we utilized AI tools to assist in creating minor graphical assets. This allowed our super limited resources to remain focused entirely on the core gameplay mechanics, coding, and storytelling that define the experience.
We use generative AI as an assistive tool in the following areas of development:
Art (Character Portraits) — AI is used to generate initial draft sketches for character portraits. All AI-generated drafts are manually refined, redrawn, and finalized by our artists to meet our quality and style standards.
Art (UI Icons) — AI is used to generate a portion of UI icons for the game interface.,
All AI-generated outputs are reviewed, modified, and approved by our team before inclusion in the final product. We ensure that no AI-generated content infringes on third-party intellectual property rights.
