Elon Musk has said xAI will ship a “great AI-generated game” before the end of 2026, and paired that promise with a short, Grok-generated clip that imagines what an AI-made title could look like. xAI recently advertised for a “videogames tutor” to train Grok in design, mechanics, and generation, with the job description promising work that will “directly impact Grok’s capabilities in producing engaging, fun, innovative videogames.”
The announcement offered no firm details about genre, scale, or platforms, nor any comparison to the current crop of best-in-class. Musk shared a brief, Grok-generated scene that depicts a soldier firing an assault rifle at a burning tank. That clip looks rough and staged, and the footage resembles a generic military set piece. Recent months have been marked by controversy over AI-driven assets in established releases.
If xAI follows through, its debut project will be listed among 2026’s upcoming PC games and is likely to spark further debate over the role AI should play in game creation. PC builders hoping to test any ambitious visuals can check the best graphics card guide for hardware tips.
