A new survey has yielded some interesting results showing that online game developers in Japan have no qualms about using generative AI to produce games domestically. A recent survey from the Japan Online Game Association (JOGA) , via VGC , shows that 100% of the game companies that participated reported they use generative AI tools. When asked how they were being used, it was claimed that these tools are primarily used for analyzing user behaviour and preferences. It’s somewhat well known that a company may not rely on just one set of tools but may, in fact, utilize several to get the job done. Tallies of the companies surveyed showed that Google’s Gemini is the preferred choice with up to 94% usage, with Anthropic’s Claude at 84%, and GitHub Copilot at 76%.
