The battle against AI-generated content will be a long one. While consumers continue to speak out about the implementation of the technology and game developers fear for their jobs, big companies like Epic Games, EA, Krafton and Microsoft (owner of Activision Blizzard, Bethesda and many more) are plowing with its use.
Earlier this year, knowing that scores of players had issues with the technology, Steam forced developers to include an AI content disclosure for all games that used it during development. These developers must specify exactly how it was used during the development process.
This warning gives consumers the chance to decide whether a game is worth buying, based on its AI usage. However, it can be hidden a little further down the page. Thankfully, if you're browsing Steam in your browser, a new add-on can help by generating a popup when a game has the AI-generated content reveal present.
A new browser extension helps bring Steam's AI-generated content insights to the fore
Available on both Firefox and Google Chrome, the AI Warning for Steam extension highlights any game that uses generative AI.
Its description reads: “If a Steam store page contains an AI-generated content reveal, this extension will display it as a modal popup, instead of just at the end of the page. Also, it will blur the rest of the page until the popup is closed.”
Of course, this means browsing Steam through your browser, rather than the platform's native app, but it's a small price to pay if you plan to give AI games a wide berth, and it can help make your decisions about whether or not to buy a game a lot easier.
Where Winds Meet players now solve puzzles by telling the game's AI that they solved the puzzles
“I solved the riddle, I promise.”
If you use the extension, expect the warning to appear very. In July, it was reported that 20 percent of games released up to that point had used generative AI, and it's only going to get worse. As companies invest more in the technology, they become more daring with its use, and we're really starting to see that now with big H2 games like Black Ops 7, Where Winds Meet and Arc Raiders all embracing it.
Thankfully, while many large companies are beginning to rely on AI, others are beginning to shy away from it. The Witcher 3's director said games “won't have soul” if they're made with AI alone, and Larian's publishing boss spoke out about Square Enix laying off QA workers and replace them with AI tools. The creative director at AdHoc Studio, creator of one of 2025's biggest gems, Dispatch, also hit out at the tools, saying they're only creative “if you're not creative” yourself.
