Steam Next Fest is back, and it’s got a futuristic twist! Over 1,700 games at the event are sporting a generative AI disclosure, and that’s why it’s the talk of the town. If you’re diving into the world of demos, you might notice a little AI magic behind the scenes.

With a whopping 8,700 games participating, about 20% have revealed their use of AI, according to SteamDB. This isn’t just a casual trend; Steam requires developers to be upfront about any AI tech used in their games. Remember when Sega had to clarify the role of AI in Crazy Taxi? Yep, transparency is key here!

AI in gaming is a hot topic and has even led to some drama among enthusiasts. It’s contributing to the spike in hardware prices, but that hasn’t stopped big names like Crimson Desert from jumping on the AI bandwagon. As more games embrace this tech, it’ll be interesting to see how it shapes the gaming landscape.

Keep an eye on how AI continues to evolve in gaming. Who knows, maybe your next favorite game will have a sprinkle of AI magic!
