Elon Musk's xAI Expands into Video Game Development
Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, is making waves in the gaming industry. It's expanding into video game development, aiming to capitalise on the projected $600 billion global market by 2030, with AI integration playing a significant role.
xAI is set to face stiff competition from tech giants like Microsoft, Nvidia, and Roblox in the AI gaming market. However, the company is bolstering its ranks with game design talent, hiring candidates with relevant experience to drive its new video game development efforts.
Elon Musk, the visionary behind xAI, has shown interest in game development since last year. Now, his company is competing in the growing market for AI-based games, primarily against OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Anthropic. These tech titans offer AI models and chatbots like ChatGPT Enterprise, Google's Gemini, Meta's Llama, and Anthropic's Claude, all vying for government and enterprise contracts related to AI technologies.
xAI's expansion into game development was recently confirmed by Elon Musk on his X account. The company has also secured a federal contract with the U.S. General Services Administration to provide AI services to government agencies. As AI continues to revolutionise various industries, xAI's foray into gaming signals an exciting new chapter in the world of video games.
