AI Usage Up, PS6 and Xbox Helix Development Still Low in Newest GDC Dev Survey

GDC Festival of Gaming organizers released the data from their 15th annual game developer survey, the State of the Game Industry report. Over 2,600 game developers anonymously responded, and the results show increased generative AI usage, not too many developers working on PlayStation 6 or Xbox Project Helix next-gen projects as of yet, an increase in the number of developers in a union, and more.

"40% of game industry professionals report using generative AI tools as part of their job, up four points from the previous survey," GDC reported. "57% of AI adopters use it daily. Usage is highest among those working at mobile-only studios (70%) and those working on free-to-play games (58%). Company policy tends to vary significantly by company size, with 27% of AAA workers feeling encouraged or pressured to use generative AI, compared to only 9% of indie studio workers."

However, the report continued, "despite the industry’s increased adoption of generative AI, its use remains polarizing; 55% of respondents felt that it has a negative impact on games, which is consistent with 54% from the previous survey. Responses suggest that game industry professionals are forming nuanced stances on the topic. For instance, some respondents wrote that they see value in using generative AI tools for repetitive tasks, research, and prototyping, but others cited environmental, psychological, and societal concerns for their hesitation to use such tools. Others pondered whether generative AI could be an equalizer for marginalized and excluded groups struggling with cost, geography, or access."

Meanwhile, 10% of survey respondents are currently developing for PS6, with 8% currently working on Xbox's Project Helix.
